Abstract: In this paper we shall study the incidence of mixed marriage in the Former Soviet Union (FSU) and the role of demographic peculiarities of the Jewish marriage market in the spread of mixed marriage.

British Jewry and its Attitudes to Intermarriage
Author(s): Schmool, Marlena
Editor(s): Reinharz, Shulamit; DellaPergola, Sergio
Date: 2009
Topics: Intermarriage, Main Topic: Identity and Community, Jewish Continuity, Demography
Abstract: The author briefly sketches the history of the British Jewish community and outlines its communal organizational structure and population demographics. For data on intermarriage and attitudes towards intermarriage, which show a fall off in synagogue marriage and a corresponding increase in the rise of intermarriage, the author brings the results of the 1995 Institute for Jewish Policy Research survey of the Social and Political Attitudes of British Jews and the 1994 Survey of Women in the Jewish Community. Nevertheless, the ten years following these studies have seen changes whose effects on intermarriage remain to be studied, including an increase in Jewish educational infrastructure, significant political developments in Israeli politics, and increased anti-Israel activity on British campuses.

Author(s): Dencik, Lars
Editor(s): Reinharz, Shulamit; DellaPergola, Sergio
Date: 2009
Topics: Intermarriage, Students, Main Topic: Identity and Community
Abstract: Through a survey of affiliated Jews in Scandinavia, the author provides demographic information about attitudes towards intermarriage, rates of intermarriage and marriage to converts, and the ritual religious practices of intermarried families compared to in-married families. Jewish community size seems to be the strongest factor in predicting the acceptance and practice of intermarriage.
