It has long been contended that the Jew who is exogamous will dissociate himself from the Jewish community and lose his Jewish identity. Based on observations in small towns, where the rate of intermarriage among Jews is high, we found no difference in the saliency of Jewish identity between exogamous and endogamous Jews. Data also indicate that given the opportunity, exogamous Jews desire to maintain their active membership in the Jewish community. Adapting to the high rate of intermarriage, the Jewish community changes its ideology from compulsory endogamy' to a preferred endogamy
