Abstract:

In Contemporary Jewry 24, 1-8. If the question is "Where are we going?" then it is worth looking at a whole variety of issues, from financial cost of being Jewish to the status of women in our community, from straightforward demographic measures to the subtle transfer of authority in our communities from federations to mega-wealthy family foundations. Here, however, we will focus on identity.
