Abstract

A survey of 175 New Americans resettled in Metropolitan Detroit showed that with community help New Americans have moved into economically productive lives with Jewish identities at least as strong as those of their American-born cohorts. The New Americans seem generally to be at about the same socioeconomic level of American Jewish families forty years ago. There is every reason to assume that as the years pass that the differences between the emigres and their American-bom cohorts will decrease. In Journal of Jewish Communal Service, v.72 no.4, Summer 1996.
