| Title |
Jewish Religious Intermarriage in Canada
|
| Abstract |
Drawing on secondary literature, the authors first identify trends in Jewish religious intermarriage in Canada — including variation over time, gender, age and community size. They then critically examine the results from the 2018 Survey of Jews in Canada to explore factors associated with intermarriage. They explain that binary logistic regression demonstrates that intermarriage is significantly and independently associated with residing in cities other than Montreal and Toronto, relative youth, male gender, having little Jewish secondary socialization outside the family and having both parents born in Canada. They note that the statistically positive effect of having intermarried parents on children’s likelihood of intermarriage falls if children attend full-time Jewish school and summer camp with Jewish content. However, that effect disappears if at least one parent is an immigrant. They conclude that these findings imply that the rising rate of intermarriage can be significantly mitigated if the Jewish community finds the means to increase the proportion of children who undergo intensive Jewish secondary socialization and the proportion of immigrants in the Jewish community. The authors discuss policies that could facilitate this outcome.
