New York - Number Of Young Jews Orthodox Jews Is Growing

New York - The percentage of young American Jews who consider themselves Orthodox is growing, a trend that will likely reshape the U.S. Jewish community, according to a report.

The recent study found that 16 percent of Jewish adults ages 18-29 are Orthodox. That's nearly double the percentage of Orthodox among Jews ages 35-39. Also are Orthodox Jews more likely to be married by age 30, while more than half of all American Jews under the age of 40 are not married, according to the report. The trend means a higher percentage of future Jewish leaders will probably be Orthodox.
