“These artifi cial boundaries that
gave comfort in the past, it’s much
more diffi cult to fi nd who is a Jew
and how one expresses their Jewish
identity. That’s what we’ll be seeing
more of now.”
ADAM LAVER
how many people there are? Th ese are one of the
things we need to look into.

“We don’t want to overlook anyone.”
A lot has changed in the decade since the last
study: Th e whole idea of Jewish identity is not the
same as it used to be, Laver said.

“You may have someone who affi liates through
Chabad and also through a local synagogue, or
goes into the Old City Jewish Arts Center, or is just
as connected through PJ Library. Th ese artifi cial
boundaries that gave comfort in the past, it’s much
more diffi cult to fi nd who is a Jew and how one
expresses their Jewish identity. Th at’s what we’ll be
seeing more of now.” ●
