  • I have a copy of your book that was a gift from one of your congregants. I've read the first couple of chapters, but still need to finish it.

    One thing about the promo I do wonder though, because your graphic doesn't show a thriving Jewish community. It looks like there has been little growth since the 1960s. That's 40 years of very slow growth.

  • That's a very good point you make. The unusually rapid period of growth during the first half of the 20th century made the more gradual growth of the second half seem like something was wrong. Right now the pop figures seem steady.

    The main thing is that the Jewish people are not dying out in America, even though everyone has been saying that for a hundred years.

  • The point that you are making here is that jews of both PATRILINEAL and MATRALINEAL descent are increasing. Yet all of those people that you are 'disproving' are defining a Jew as only coming from matralineal descent.
