New York - Study Of Jews Finds Signs Of Growing Orthodox Clout

New York - The latest on young American Jews suggests that Orthodoxy will become a larger and more influential force in coming decades.
The study, which looked at the 1.5 million U.S. Jews between the ages of 18-39, found that Orthodox Jews comprise some 11 percent of all U.S. Jews, and 16 percent of 18-29 year-olds. Among even younger Jews, the percentage of Orthodox is even higher, those behind the report say.

Further, the survey found, Orthodox Jews marry at a younger age, have more children and are more Jewishly engaged than their non-Orthodox counterparts.
