Utilizing data obtained from the 1990 National Jewish Population Survey, the book begins with a demographic portrait of American Jewish baby boomers. Realizing that America's Jews are both a religious and ethnic group, a comparison is made with Protestant and Catholic baby boomers, as well as other ethnic groups. The religious patterns of the Jewish baby boomers and their ethnic patterns are examined in-depth, and placed within the larger contexts of the modern or post-modern character of religion and ethnicity. The book's extensive presentation of detailed quantitative data is consistently complemented by qualitative examinations of their communal implications for Jewish continuity and the organized American Jewish community.SUNY Series in American Jewish Society in the 1990'sJewsUnited StatesSocial conditions20th centuryBaby boom generationUnited StatesUnited StatesSocial conditions1960-1980United StatesSocial conditions1980-JewsSocial conditionsBaby boom generation305.892/4073/09045Waxman Chaim Isaac706878MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910806865703321Jewish baby boomers3940174UNINA
