Conservative Jewry in the United States: a Socialdemographic Profile Alice Goldstein

Conservative Jewry in the United States: A Sociodemographic Profile is the third in a series of publications emanating from the North American Study of Conservative Synagogues and Their Members. The larger study included three freshly commissioned surveys of congregational practices and programs, the behavior and beliefs of members, and the attitudes and practices of recent bar and bat mitzvah celebrants. All three of these surveys were conducted in 1995-1996. In addition, two ethnographers each study a pair of Conservative synagogues to learn more about the cultures of congregations.
