![]() If we format the data of the latest study of the Pew Research Center in 2020, and just look at Jews age 18 through 49, which I feel gives a better snapshot when discussing continuity and trends, 38% identify as Jewish by ethnicity or culture (not by religion), of which almost all this group describes themselves as atheist or agnostic, 33% identify as a Reform Jew, 14% as an Orthodox Jew, 9.5% as a Conservative Jew, and 5% by one of the other movements.Īdditionally, for the first time questions about Chabad were asked in a national study and it was discovered that 38% of American Jews have engaged in a Chabad program in the past year. I do not discuss why so many people find Chabad attractive because there are already several published articles which discuss this.įirst let’s start with the big picture. I will then share my thoughts on the reasons for the Conservative movement’s decline, and my thoughts about its future. The focus of this paper is telling the story of the Conservative movement’s decline and Chabad’s growth through the data of the various studies of American Jewry, as well as the Conservative movement’s and Chabad’s own data.
