Abstract:
Using data from the 1990 National Jewish Population Survey (NJPS-1990), supplemented by local community surveys undertaken in the 1980s, authors provide a profile of persons who identify themselves as Conservative Jews in the United States. The chapter delineates their sociodemographic composition, examine some of their religious/ritual behavior and beliefs, and assess the trends in movement into and out of Conservativism.
