Abstract:

Intermarriage, attitudes towards intermarriage, and studies of intermarriage have all changed dramatically. Intermarriage and American Jews today, based on data from Jewish community surveys, describes some of these changes. My aim here is to suggest that broader social and cultural changes, taking place in the nation as a whole, place these data into a somewhat different perspective.
