Abstract

Fertility Haredi Hasidic Hybridity Israel connections Jewish connections Modern Orthodox Orthodox Jews Voting patterns Yeshivish (non-Hasidic Haredi)
This chapter discusses the ways in which American Orthodox Jews, particularly the Modern Orthodox, share many characteristics with their non-Orthodox co-religionists. For example, while nearly all Haredi Jews are married by age 29 and 70 % of Modern Orthodox by that age, nearly one-third of them remain single in their 30s and 40s, a pattern that more resembles the non-Orthodox population.
