Sklare Address, 2025 Religion and Health: The Encounter of American Jews, Protestants, and Catholics with the Covid-19 Pandemic
This article describes the way American Jews, in comparison with their non-Hispanic White Protestant, Catholic, as well as unaffiliated peers, responded to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Using the Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel covering the period between 2020 and 2023, I focus on three complementary dimensions: masking, vaccination, and illness. The findings suggest that Jews were the most attentive to the recommendation t…

The Covid-19 Pandemic in the United States: Who Moved, Why, and Where
COVID-19 affected the social, economic, and spatial patterns of people’s lives. Families adjusted their places of work, where their children were educated, and their interactions with relatives and friends. The disease weakened some individuals’ and families’ attachment to their places of residence and prompted some to reconsider where to live. We examine the selectivity, reasons, and types of COVID-induced migration in the U.S. during the first …
Jewish Diversity in Israel
This article explores complementary dimensions of Jewish diversity in Israel. In the past two decades Jews have evolved in polarising directions: whereas the fringes of ultra-Orthodox and the secular widened, the traditional middle narrowed. Within each sector, religious identification across an individual's life cycle is dynamic, with the ultra-Orthodox and religious bolstering their religiosity and the secular and traditional moving away from a…
A Double Burden: Israeli Jews in Contemporary Germany
Chapter 5 Construction of Identity
Israeli‐Jewish immigrants in Germany: An assessment of the destination‐language acquisition model and the role of Holocaust memory
Since its reunification in 1990, Germany has been the destination of a large number of immigrants from Israel. They chose to settle in a country that is associated with the greatest tragedy in Jewish history, the Holocaust. Furthermore, they were raised in a country in which Holocaust memory and commemoration are major component of group identity. Within this context, the present study uses data from a survey carried out in 2014/2015 among Israel…
Inter-country variations in Covid-19 incidence from a social science perspective
COVID-19 has spread unevenly among countries. Beyond its pathogenicity and its contagious nature, it is of the utmost importance to explore the epidemiological determinants of its health outcomes. I focus on the thirty-six OECD member states and examine country-level characteristics of the timing of the coronavirus outbreak and its morbidity and case-fatality rates. I harvested data on dependent variables from daily WHO reports and information on…
Language Acquisition, Employment Status, and the Earnings of Jewish and Non‐Jewish Immigrants in Israel
This article analyses the Hebrew language proficiency, probability of employment, and labour market earnings of immigrants in Israel. It uses the 2010/11 Immigrant Absorption Survey conducted by the Israeli CBS. In addition to standard immigration, demographic, and human capital variables, the analysis includes unique features: the study of long‐duration immigrants, analyses of males’ and females’ primary reasons for immigration, the subsidized i…
Assimilation in American Life: An Empirical Assessment of Milton Gordon’s Multi-dimensional Theory
This study empirically assesses Milton Gordon's theory of interrelated stages of assimilation. I focus on one small but salient religious minority—American Jews—to show how structural assimilation is associated with other dimensions of assimilation: marital, identification, and behavior reception. Findings from multivariate analyses suggest that structural assimilation encourages Jews to marry non-Jews. Such a marriage composition has become a ma…
English-Language Proficiency among Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs in the United States, 1980–2000
This study assesses the determinants of English-language proficiency among three subgroups of Israeli immigrants in the United States, namely native-born Israeli Jews, foreign-born Israeli Jews, and Palestinian Arabs, and how these determinants have changed over time. Multivariate analyses of decennial censuses from 1980, 1990, and 2000 reveal substantial differences in the directions and significance of the relationships between the independent …
Patterns and selectivities of urban/rural migration in Israel
Movement from one type of area to another attests to factors of distance, socioeconomic barriers, and heterogeneity. Movement between two localities of one type entails fewer and different types of changes
Immigrant Acculturation and Transnationalism: Israelis in the United States and Europe Compared
This article examines relations between social integration into host societies, religio‐ethnic acculturation into group belonging, and ties to home country among Israeli émigrés in the United States and Europe. I use data from a 2009–2010 Internet survey into which I incorporated country‐contextual characteristics. The results of multivariate analyses show that a social integration combining duration of residence abroad and local citizenship enha…
Correlates of experiences and perceptions of anti-Semitism among Jews in the United States
Demography, social prosperity, and the future of sovereign Israel
The expanding recognition of the two-state solution for the Israeli–Palestinian conflict ostensibly removes an immediate demographic threat to Israel that the Arab inhabitants between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River will soon outnumber the Jews. The demographic and social concern of maintaining the character of the State of Israel as the place where the Jewish people can realize their right to self-determination and can ensure a solid …
Migration, Time, and Religioethnic Identification Among U.S. Jews 1
This article examines changes between 1985–1990 and 1995–2000 in relationships between migration and religioethnic identification among U.S. Jews. The results of multivariate analyses of the 1990 and 2000 National Jewish Population Surveys show that Jewish background characteristics have lost their significance as determinants of internal migration and, especially, migration across state boundaries. Concurrently, migration no longer constitutes a…

Nativity Concentration and Internal Migration among the Foreign-Born in Israel, 1990-1995
This study examines the effect of nativity concentration on internal migration patterns among the foreign-born population in Israel. Three hypotheses are proposed:a) the group homogeneity hypothesis suggests that due to the immigration policy of Israel, which formally grants both the right to settle and citizenship only to Jews and thus immigrants share the religious identity of the majority population, nativity concentration will have a small ef…

The changing roles of human capital, state context of residence, and ethnic bonds in interstate migration: American Jews 1970–1990
Motivated by the gap left by the census, which does not enquire into matters of creed, this study examines the changing role of internal migration determinants among American Jews. Multivariate analysis of data from the 1970/1 and 1990 National Jewish Population Surveys, to which contextual measures were attached, shows a decline over time in the importance of human capital in explaining five‐year interstate migration, while environmental amenity…
Changing patterns of Internal Migration 1970–1990: A comparative analysis of jews and whites in The United States
Independently conducted yet complementary sets of data from the 1970/1971 and 1990 National Jewish Population Surveys and the U.S. censuses of the same changes in the internal migration of Jews and whites during the periods 1965–1970(1971) and 1985–1990. Interstate lifetime and five-year migration rates among Jews increased to levels significantly surpassing those of whites. Adjusting Jewish migration rates for the educational achievement of thei…

Jewish Identification in Intermarriage: Does a Spouse's Religion (Catholic vs. Protestant) Matter
This article is concerned with whether Jewish intermarriage in the US affects the religioethnic identification of the Jewish partner differently if the spouse is Catholic as compared to Protestant. Three working hypotheses are developed which take into consideration differences between Catholicism and Protestantism in the importance of religious practices and social interaction, and theological positions towards interfaith marriage. Multivariate …

Jewish Identification in Contemporary America: Gans’s Symbolic Ethnicity and Religiosity Theory Revisited
The author attempts to further the current understanding of the role of group identification among white Americans by reassessing Herbert Gans’s theory of symbolic ethnicity and religiosity. I focus on Jews, a small yet deeply integrated group in the social mainstream, using data from the 1970-1971 and 1990 National Jewish Population Surveys. A cohort follow-up over the 20-year period shows that intermittent and home-centered practices have susta…
