In the other three cities, the interviewing is now being com- pleted. The samole census for the rest of the country will be taken after the interviewing in New York. The entire project will reach its end by July. It will mark the first time the American Jewish community will get a picture of itsel`. Individual Jewish communities—Chicago, Balti- more, Detroit, Boston. San Francisco, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Camden, Des Moines, Providence, Rochester, Columbus, Flint and others—have undertaken population studies loclly in recent years. but never was a national survey conducted. As a result of the CJFWF understking, a more distinct portrait of all elements making up the American Jewish Community as a whole will emerge. The CJFWF national study, when completed, will provide informa- tion on the attitudes of Jews in this country toward various aspects of Jewish life, patterns of Jewish identification, intermarriage, the bringing up of children in a Jewish spirit, participation in Jewish organizations, contributions to Jewish causes, opinions on Judaism, Jewish family income, interest in the Jewish cultural heritage, the most favored Jewish fund-raising organizations, stands on American Jewish aid to Israel, and other basic questions concerning .lewish life. Relecting the sentiments of all elements of American Jewry, the CJFWF census will indicate the direction in which American Jewish life is going. It will thus be of great value in designing and developing services best suited to the current and future needs of American Jews. At the same time it will also provide basic demographic data on American Jewry—by vocation; age, sex, education—and similar facts coordinated with the U.S. general census. Technical experts from the U.S. Census Bureau are assisting the CJFWF in its study.- S THE JEWISH NEWS Over 200 Craftsmen are employed by PAK printers — there is no substitute.

For financing of all these, a highly developed fund-raising machinery has been developed. For such programs, basic demographic data is needed but is not available, except in the roughest estimates. The results of the CJFWF survey will fill the gap. It will not be limited to or emphasize "head counting." Rather, its concern will center on questions Jewish leaders and organizations are asking about the characteristics and changes in American Jewry, and especially the facts that bear directly upon sound planning. The data that will emerge from the answers in the CJFWF study will provide perspectives related to the nature of Jewish education, community centers, youth and college campus programs, synagogue participation. Jewish observance and non-observance, Jewish identifi- cation or indifference to Judaism, and involvement in financing Jewish needs. It will also provide regional and national perspectives related to institutional care, the growing proportion of Jewish aged, and Jewish migration. Preliminary data will be made available by the end of this year. In 1971, experts will prepare detailed analyses by subject matter. to be distributed to federations. A book for more general use will appear later. Jewish experts in the field of research are directing the survey. They include Dr. Fred Massarik of the University of California; Dr. Morris Axelrod of MIT and Harvard; Dr. Bernard Lazervits of the University of Missouri; Prof. Albert J. Mayer of the University of Arizona: Dr. Sidney Goldstein of Brown University; Stanley K. Bigman of Washington, D.C.; Alvin Chenkin of the CJFWF, and Saul Kaplan of the Chicago Jewish Federation.
