Abstract:

The analysis presented in this chapter focused on the national American Jewish scene. The demographic profile of individual communities will most likely be affected by residential mobility, be it intercity, interstate, or interregional move. It is apparent that internal migration is today 'the major dynamic responsible for the growth or decline of many local Jewish communities and for the changing distribution of the Jewish population.
