ENGAGEMENT WITH JEWISH COMMUNAL INSTITUTIONS
Valuing Jewish identity does not necessarily translate into valuing Jewish communal institutions. In the 2019 survey, 81% said that being Jewish was at least somewhat important to them, yet only 58% said that it was at least somewhat important to feel connected to community organizations. The comparison is even more striking in the case of those with the strongest feelings. Although 46% said that being Jewish was very important to them, only 21% considered it very important to be connected to institutions and organizations in the Jewish community. Even among those who felt that being Jewish was important to them, 31% felt that it was not important to feel connected to the community.
