“…Another possibility is that over time, the offspring of intermarriage will increasingly identify as Jews, augmenting the population, especially No‐Denomination and Partly Jews (Sasson 2013; Sasson et al. 2017). Indeed, others––interpreting the same data set––see a quite different future for American Jewry (Saxe, Sasson, and Aronson 2015).…”

Drawing upon the comprehensive survey of the American Jewish population conducted in 2013 by the Pew Research Center, we estimate the trajectory of the population and its denominational segments, 50 years into the future. Our analysis relies upon estimates of the population in 2013, fertility rates, marriage behaviors, and denominational switching patterns as inputs into a model of population demographics. We project that over the next 50 years, the demographics of U.S. Jews are likely to change dramatically, with the share of the population that is Orthodox rising from 12 percent to 29 percent, with their share of the child population increasing from 22 percent to 51 percent. Among Reform and Conservative Jews, the number of 30‐ to 69‐year‐olds is projected to drop by approximately 46 percent over this period. We also project a slight drop in the total Jewish population followed by a recovery propelled by the growing Orthodox population.

“…Findings from empirical studies reveal a connection between a traumatic childhood experience and faith commitment (Bierman, 2005;Sansone, Kelley & Forbis, 2013;Dyslin & Thomsen, 2011;Schafer, 2014). Another interesting finding was the experience of a family divorce, separation of parents, or intermarriage of parents, as these childhood experiences can deter faith development of children (DeRoos, Iedema, & Miedema, 2004;Sasson, Aronson, Chertok, Kadushin, & Saxe, 2017;Denton, 2012;Petts, 2015). Westerhoff expands this idea of "life crisis" by connecting it to significant religious experiences such as a baptism, first communion, confirmation, ordination, and last rites, as well as to a life trauma (Westerhoff, 2000, p. 89).…”

Integrating Theology and Social Science to Uncover How Childhood Experiences Contribute to Christian Commitment in Young Adulthood

Christian educators seek to understand how each life stage influences the next. Social science has found that the childhood years are filled with experiences that contribute to spirituality in young adulthood. This article seeks to understand these possible experiences by examining the biblical and theological aspects of childhood religious education and then integrating them with social science. Conclusions reveal three findings in regards to the connection between childhood experiences and young adult spiritualty: (1) understanding God’s larger narrative, (2) enhancing Christian identity, and (3) developing godly character.

“…There is a growing group of Orthodox Jews known as Hardalim, who moved in their religious observances towards Haredi Judaism. According to a 2016 Pew survey, 33% of Israeli Haredim say that the term "Zionist" describes them accurately (Sasson et al, 2017). The Lithuanian stream, to which respondents belong, participate in national elections and send their representatives to the Israeli parliament.…”

Underground COVID-19 Home Hospitals for Haredim: Non-Compliance or a Culturally Adapted Alternative to Public Hospitalization?

This thematic study analyzed the experiences of Jewish Haredi (Lithuanian) patients in underground home hospitals during the second wave of COVID-19 in Israel. This minority comprises 12.6% of the Israeli population. Participants were 30 members of this hidden population, ages 59-78. Haredi complied with community directives rather than with the national directive of hospitalizing COVID-19 patient only at public hospitals. Compliance with community directives was driven by a distrust in health authorities and clinicians at public hospitals; by the preference of patientcentered care, a desired approach of care that public hospitals fail to implement; by the need to sustain beliefs, values, and traditions; by community leadership; and by the need to conserve political power. While health authorities view underground home hospitals as demonstrating non-compliance with the national directive, Haredi leaders view underground home hospitals as demonstrating a self-sufficient, patient-centered care alternative to public hospitalizations. Considering the benefits of patient-centered care and the growth of the multi-cultural global landscape, we call upon health authorities to explore the accommodation of patient-centered care for COVID-19 patients and the designing of an adaptive multi-cultural policy that address multi-cultural aspects of religious minorities as key to health promotion. We propose ways to implement multi-cultural policies.
