Despite It All: The Jews Are Still Jewish—a Response to Uzi Rebhun
Shlomit Levy, 1937–2025
Jewish Presence in the Land of Israel in the 19th Century: Insights from the Montefiore Censuses
This article presents a new evaluation and analysis of the five censuses undertaken at the initiative of philanthropist Sir Moses Montefiore among the Jewish population of Palestine/the Land of Israel between 1839 and 1875. The main purpose of the censuses was to ascertain the composition and needs of a generally poor Jewish population in order to better provide to its welfare. The information collected concerned basic demographic characteristics…
A Note on the Use of Race and Color in Jewish Social Scientific Research
This note takes as its point of departure the tensions and discrimination against individuals and groups that persist in the United States on the grounds of race and color. It is unfortunately likely that there is a long road ahead before racial and color-based prejudice, abuse, inequality, and indignity are no longer normative in the US. Growing incorporation of Jews in US society and culture brought about the adoption in Jewish social research …
According to Whose Numbers? Assessing the Pew Research Center’s Estimate of 7.5 Million Jewish Americans
Differences of opinion regarding the numerical size of US Jewry are discussed in this article, with special reference to the 2020 Pew survey of Jewish Americans. Issues discussed involve understanding the theoretical assumptions, technical requirements, and accumulated body of knowledge of Jewish demography and population studies as a discipline; the different methods and biases of Jewish social survey research; the variety of possible Jewish pop…
Notes toward a Demographic History of the Jews
As an essential prerequisite to the genealogical study of Jews, some elements of Jewish demographic history are provided in a long-term transnational perspective. Data and estimates from a vast array of sources are combined to draw a profile of Jewish populations globally, noting changes in geographical distribution, vital processes (marriages, births and deaths), international migrations, and changes in Jewish identification. Jews often anticipa…

Jewish Out-Marriage: A Global Perspective
The frequency, determinants, and consequences of marriages between Jews and non-Jews have long been a significant topic in social-scientific research and community discourse. Some observers view the trends in Jewish family formation with great concern and consider it to be a leading factor in the identity drift and quantitative erosion of Jewish population. At the beginning of twentieth century, rates of Jewish out-marriage were generally low. In…
Ethnoreligious intermarriage in Israel: An exploration of the 2008 census
Since its establishment, Israel’s population has included individuals associated with different religions and ethnic groups. The literature on religious intermarriage in Israel is not abundant. This probably reflects the relative paucity of cases in relation to a total population that has overwhelmingly tended to perform endogamous marriages – within the Jewish population but also within each of the other main religious groups. It probably also r…

Mondialisation, localisation et identités: Espaces juifs contemporains
La population juive a été, et continue à être, dispersée à l’échelle mondiale et constitue le cas d’une diaspora transnationale dans un contexte multinational. L’exposition des Juifs à des environnements locaux différents et les contingences d’une géographie en transformation permanente ont affecté profondément l’intensité et la qualité des interactions des Juifs avec leurs voisins non-juifs. Ces dernières ont remarquablement pénétré les couches …
Entre ciencia y ficción: Notas sobre la demografía de la Shoá1
Although the quantitative effects of the Shoá (a term usually translated as Holocaust), have been abundantly addressed and speculated over, few studies have been based on rigorous demographic methods to explore them. The first part of this article evaluates the main factors that should be thoroughly examined to establish the short and long term impact on the Jewish population. The second section presents demographic global projections of what the…

Patterns of American Jewish Fertility
The 1971 National Jewish Population Survey provides cross-sectional data on achieved fertility, detailed birth histories, and other information on family formation for a countrywide representative sample of 5,303 ever-married women. Cohort analysis shows that—although at lower levels—Jewish fertility has followed the general trends of American population

The quantitative effects of the Holocaust have been the subject of much discussion and speculation, but rarely have they been seriously scrutinized using demographic methods. The first part of this article outlines the major factors that need to be fully examined in order to assess the short and long-term effects of the Shoah on the Jewish population. The second section cautiously offers demographic projections for the Jewish population had the S…
