Abstract:
With minimal adjustments, models of Jewish acculturation for new Americans from the former Soviet Union can be applied to reach unaffiliated American Jews. Both groups lack a Jewish education, a positive Jewish identity, and financial commitment to the Jewish community. Acculturation programming, such as welcoming activities, family-to-family matching, and the transitional school, can be used successfully to reach the unaffiliated.
