Abstract

The large crop of publicity and more formal writings that have appeared since the release of the Pew Research Center’s A Portrait of Jewish Americans (Pew Research Center 2013) highlights three issues relevant, intriguing, still unsolved, and possibly unsolvable for a large audience of academics, professionals, and lay people: (1) How many Jews are there, and is the population increasing or decreasing? (2) How do we define the Jewish collective boundary? (3) How do we understand the contemporary world of Jewish ideational and behavioral contents?
