ABSTRACT

In this paper, we present data from the most recent wave of theLongitudinal Study of Young Jews Raised in Conservative Synagogues. Participants were part of the b'nai mitzvah class of 1994–1995 (or, the year 5755 in the Hebrew calendar) and members of Conservative synagogues in the US and Canada. Approximately 400 panel members took part in this follow-up. We explore the degree to which adolescents’ educational experiences carry weight into adulthood, specifically as parents making educational choices for their own children, with particular interest in the role of gender. Results show that respondents attribute a variety of lasting effects to their past Jewish education, particularly those receiving formal education. Correlations were stronger for females than for males. One’s past affective appraisal of one’s Jewish education appears to be associated as well, as does marital status (interfaith or not). Results are discussed in terms of the social-affective goals of Jewish education and parental decision-making.

摘要

在本文中，我们展示了最近一波对在保守派犹太教堂长大的年轻犹太人进行纵向研究的数据. 参与者是 1994 年至 1995 年（或希伯来日历中的 5755 年）b'nai mitzvah 班的成员，以及美国和加拿大保守派犹太教堂的成员。大约 400 名专家组成员参加了这次后续行动。我们探索青少年的教育经历对成年的影响程度，特别是当父母为自己的孩子做出教育选择时，特别关注性别的作用。结果表明，受访者将各种持久影响归因于他们过去的犹太教育，尤其是那些接受正规教育的人。女性的相关性强于男性。一个人过去对自己的犹太教育的情感评价似乎也相关，婚姻状况（是否跨信仰）也是如此。
