Jewish Identity, Engagement, and Education
Conclusions & Implications
• Though interconnected, each county has its own distinct profile – demographically, attitudinally, and behaviorally.– Programs/services that understand and tailor to these differences will
improve their likelihood of success.
• Those who are ‘Just Jewish’ are less engaged and less involved but should not be written off.– Informal/cultural Jewish experiences are often valued more than religious
ones by this segment but also for teens. Expanding opportunities to informally connect with others may help to strengthen engagement.
– Expanding and/or increasing awareness of volunteer opportunities may be another avenue for strengthening community engagement.
33Jewish Identity, Engagement, and Education
Conclusions & Implications
• Synagogue affiliation follows life stage – peaking among those in the 45-59 age segment. – Opportunities for growth are strongest among inmarried couples and
families with young children; sliced by age, it’s those under age 45.
• Jewish ritual observance varies – low ‘commitment threshold’ rituals are most widely practiced.– Such observance keeps the door open – are there ways for community
institutions to better leverage this interest?
• While being Jewish matters to many, fewer value community ‘life.’ – Local Jewish organizations need to find ways to be less costly, more
welcoming, and (possibly) more convenient. 34Jewish Identity, Engagement, and Education
Conclusions & Implications
• Parents are committed to providing their children with a Jewish education… at least through bar/bat mitzvah age.– Past that point, cultural Jewish experiences are often valued more than
formal educational ones for keeping the connection. Expanding opportunities to informally connect with others can strengthen these ties.
• Even though most parents will not send their children to Jewish Day School, they recognize the value of such institutions to the community.– These schools may appeal to a broader array of students than expected –
messaging directed towards these ‘non-traditional’ students and families may yield additional opportunities.
35Jewish Identity, Engagement, and Education
Conclusions & Implications
• While many in the community live ‘comfortably,’ others face challenges – disabilities, financial issues, and social/emotional stressors. They are most likely to turn to Jewish agencies for help coping with caregiving for the elderly and dementia.– Increasing awareness of the array of social services offered by local
Jewish agencies could help increase their use for others stressors as well.
36Jewish Identity, Engagement, and Education
Conclusions & Implications
• Big Picture– The Jewish population in the tri-County area is estimated to have grown
by 15% since 1991. Although Camden County remains the mainstay, newcomers tend to head to Gloucester and Burlington counties.
• Seniors comprise a large part of the community, most likely increasing over time, with the attendant need for services.
– The tri-County area Jewish community is supportive of more than one dozen Jewish denominations/movements. While those identifying with the Reform and Conservative movements predominate, others are seeing growth – most notably the Orthodox and those who consider themselves ‘Just Jewish.’
• The rise in those who identify as ‘Just Jewish’ may be troubling for the long term sustainability of the community – they tend to be less involved in/supportive of Jewish community entities/organizations, care less about Jewish continuity, follow fewer Jewish rituals and practices.
37Jewish Identity, Engagement, and Education
Conclusions & Implications
• Big Picture [con’t.]– Many feel the community is not as welcoming as it could (or should) be.
• For some, cost is an obstacle; for others distance poses a problem.• Perhaps more troubling is the fact that people who are not married are less likely to
feel welcomed or that they belong.
– Even so, educating the children ‘Jewishly’ remains a priority for most parents. For most, the synagogue religious school is the model of choice, with interest in supplementing such programs with ‘informal’ experiences (e.g., day and overnight camp, teen tours, etc.) noted.
• Lack of access prevents some from enrolling their youngest children in daycare or pre-school programs in a Jewish setting.
• Others opt for the Jewish day school experience, and many recognize the value of this type of institution for the community.
38Jewish Identity, Engagement, and Education
Conclusions & Implications
• Big Picture [con’t.]– People in the community deal with a wide array of challenges including
mental and physical disabilities, financial issues, and social/emotional stressors.
• Jewish organizations may be sources of support/assistance, but they are not routinely the ‘first line of defense.’
– Each county has its own distinct profile – the goal should not be to simply replicate the success of the Camden County structure, but to tailor offerings to meet the unique needs of each county.
