Notes

  1. See pp. 67–68 in the Pew report accessible at http://www.jewishdatabank.org/Studies/details.cfm?StudyID=715.

  2. See for example, the Pittsburgh 2002 study: http://www.jewishdatabank.org/Studies/details.cfm?StudyID=367 or Baltimore, 1999: http://www.jewishdatabank.org/Studies/details.cfm?StudyID=314. In later Ukeles studies, the choices were expanded to Jewish, Jewish and something else, not Jewish but not in another religion, in another religion, undecided: http://www.jewishdatabank.org/Studies/details.cfm?StudyID=564.

  3. Seattle, 2014: http://www.jewishdatabank.org/Studies/details.cfm?StudyID=766.

  4. Denver, 2007: http://www.jewishdatabank.org/Studies/details.cfm?StudyID=525.

  5. Southern New Jersey, 2013 at DataBank: http://www.jewishdatabank.org/Studies/details.cfm?StudyID=784. Northern New Jersey, 2014: http://www.jewishdatabank.org/Studies/details.cfm?StudyID=808.

  6. I am excluding, of course, the brilliantly written introduction by Laurence Kotler-Berkowitz: “The Challenge of Jewish Community Studies: An Introduction,” who doubles as my “boss” at the DataBank, in addition to his role as Senior Director of Research and Analysis at JFNA.

  7. Cell phone RDD and Landline RDD and their List-DJN counterparts are separately deduplicated, by the way.

  8. The Sheskin article is similar to the Cohen article in asserting that RDD interviews are critical, but Sheskin may be using much more of a LADS design in future studies given his partnership with David Dutwin and SSRS, so his DJN-RDD comparisons may be more of an historical anomaly than a plan for future research designs.

  9. Please see the DataBank summary of intermarriage-synagogue affiliated data by Jewish community in Table 2c, pages 14–16 in the DataBank FAQ on Intermarriage (http://www.jewishdatabank.org/Studies/details.cfm?StudyID=635) which summarizes the proportion of intermarried Jewish couples who report that their household belongs to a Jewish congregation — data restricted to studies which have an RDD component.
