Description

"What is a Jew? Who is a Jew? How is Jewish identity transmitted? These have long been important sociological questions. The authors, in addressing those issues, focus on the individual's interpersonal relationships during the socialization process and their personal integration in a social and organization context. They assert that Jewish education, positive Jewish experiences with parents and peers during adolescence and ongoing involvement with other Jews is necessary and important for Jewish identification. This important study on factors shaping Jewish identification is often cited. This reprint the 1974 edition takes on added significance as it affords an opportunity to better understand the popular debate about the transmission of Jewish identity and continuity in contemporary American society."--BOOK JACKET.
