Abstract:

Little empirical research has been devoted to the question of the religious schools' effectiveness in their own area of emphasis. This study aims to assess the relative impact of school and family life on Jewish identification, using a mailback questionnaire completed by 626 Jewish undergraduates at Columbia University.
