Abstract:

Is Jewish education the salvation of American Jewry, or is it a disaster? To assess this situation we need to examine three issues: 1) What is the current state of Jewish education? 2) Does Jewish education have a positive or negative effect on Jewish identification? 3) Are there any policy implications suggested by the factual situation?
