Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to characterize the Jewish involvement of baby boomers as a function of demographic and socio-economic factors, variations in Jewish affiliation, and types of Jewish education. Sections are devoted to the interrelations among the indicators of involvement, the causal influence of Jewish education on Jewish involvement, and to the characteristics of those who have recently increased their Jewish commitment.
