Abstract:

This is a study that is designed to represent the differentiating goals that parents have for their children in a particular New England community. The study asks a series of questions that attempts to reveal the perceived importance of concerns such as Jewish identity, socialization, religious faith, etc. The author argues that there is a statistically significant difference between the responses of Orthodox and non-Orthodox families.
