| Summary: | Previous studies have found considerable variations in the extent of Jewish participation in different sizes of United States Jewish communities. Recent work has suggested that Jewish communities in the United States are becoming more homogenous. This study compares the effect of community size on Jewish primary group, religious, and communal participation in 1971 and 1990. These relationships are studied from three independent data sources: the two national Jewish Population Surveys of 1971 and 1990, and rates of giving to Jewish community federations as reported by the Council of Jewish Federations in 1973 and 1991. The influence of size on communal institutional involvement was less in 1990 than in 1971, it was greater in 1990 on primary group variables, and was relatively constant for religiosity variables. |
