British Synagogue Membership in 1990
Author(s): Schmool, Marlena; Cohen, Frances
Date: 1991
Topics: Synagogue Membership, Synagogues, Statistics, Main Topic: Other
Abstract: This listing is the third prepared by the Community Research Unit of the Board of Deputies
following compilations for 1977 and 1983. The figures presented relate to mid-1990. To
the best of our knowledge all congregations in the United Kingdom are included: we would
be pleased to be told of any unwittingly omitted. In order to compare data across
synagogue groupings and between areas, our analytical base (which is described fully
in the Appendix) is such that data presented here for individual synagogues may differ
from membership figures published by synagogal bodies. This is particularly the case
where synagogues count husbands and wives as two individual members: we have
considered them as one household membership.
Jewish day schools in Britain 1992/3 to 2003/4
Author(s): Hart, Rona; Schmool, Marlena; Cohen, Frances
Date: 2007
Topics: Demography, Jewish Schools, Statistics, Main Topic: Education
Abstract: In recent decades, Jewish education in Britain has undergone considerable changes both in organization and content. The central change has been the growth of the Jewish day school and the subsequent decline of synagogue classes (Hebrew school). This major structural transformation is likely to have long-term implications for the Jewish community. These developments have taken place against a backdrop of demographic decline and geographic concentration of the Jewish community.
The inconsistency between the demographic decrease and the expansion of Jewish day schools is the focus of this study, which describes and analyzes these developments in Jewish education and examines the origins of these trends and the factors affecting them.
