Abstract:

Unless the erosion of the Jewish population can be halted, the Jews are destined for the future of an endangered species. The challenge before American Jewry today is to save for the Jewish people one million children of intermarriage. How successful the Jewish community is in the task of outreach and conversion will determine the future strength of the American Jewish community.
