Abstract

The author contends that the "typical" American Jewish family is now atypical in one way or another. After reviewing the historical patterns into which Jewish families have fit, she outlines educational, occupational, gender-based, and household-structural changes affecting the American Jewish family, including rates of divorce and intermarriage, based on the National Jewish Population Study.
