Abstract:
The relationship between family income and each of two forms of Jewish involvement—synagogue membership and federated campaign contributions —is examined, as is the influence of Jewish identity, marital status, and the presence of a child aged 18 or under in the household. Income and identity are found to be important predictors of involvement, whereas surprisingly, marital status and the presence of a child aged 18 or under are not particularly good predictors of involvement.
