Jewish Identity in an Anglo-Jewish Community: The Findings of the 1978 Redbridge Jewish Survey
Author(s): Kosmin, Barry A.; Levy, Caren
Date: 1983
Topics: Surveys, Jewish Neighbourhoods, Jewish Identity, Cities and Suburbs
Abstract: Redbridge Jews are typical of Anglo-Jewry. The third or fourth most numerous Jewish population in a Greater London borough they live in the corridor located between the North Circular Road and London Green Belt, where the most populous and growing Jewish populations are to be found. Jewish Identity in an Anglo-Jewish Community is the fourth report in a series based on an extensive survey of this population.

The Redbridge Jewish Survey was a co-operative venture and was supported by a variety of agencies and organisations working in the Jewish community. The survey itself aimed to provide information to assist them in the planning and administration of Jewish affairs and social services at the local community level. Many questions were specifically commissioned by organisations for their own particular purposes. As far as possible an attempt has been made to integrate the answers into an overall assessment of Jewish identity. These include some on topics such as the Jewish Day School, vocational education, aliyah, tourism and philanthropy to Israel.
Neighbourhood, community and residential change decisions in the Dublin Jewish community
Author(s): Waterman, Stanley
Date: 1983
Topics: Geography, Cities and Suburbs, Residential Patterns, Residential Mobility, Jewish Neighbourhoods, Friendship, Networks, Main Topic: Demography and Migration
Abstract: The Dublin Jewish community has undergone numerical decline over the past thirty years. At the same time, there have been substantial changes in the residential locations of members of the community. This paper investigates the significance of the neighbourhood and the community in residential change decisions through an examination of social visiting patterns, friendship and family networks and the perception and importance of having Jewish neighbours. The results show that although contacts with non-Jewish neighbours have increased, there is still a tendency to choose residential locations close to other community members. While there is still a tendency to move to higher status suburbs in south-cast Dublin, there is an opposing trend back towards the area of second settlement in the south-west of the city.
