Nadine,

<<<We've decided to take Zionism at its word and live normal lives. Which is why we're going to win. In fact, we already have. >>>

I am asking this with the utmost respect. You don't need me to tell you how much I respect what the Jewish people have gone through and as a group come out of it and be as successful as they have in the United States. I am sorry but that is the only part of Jewish history (post WWII) that I know anything about.

But going forward, from my understanding, the Jewish population in the United States, and my guess, in the rest of the world (outside of Israel), is getting fewer in number as many Jewish young people are inter marrying within the local population.

It is also my understanding that the Jewish faith does not actively seek converts and only children born to Jewish women can be Jewish.

What is the current Jewish population in the world and in Israel?

How many are of the orthodox and reformed faith?

My question is this: Where is it going? How is it getting there? What is the language? If it is Hebrew, how is it being promoted or kept alive? What is the prognosis?

When you really get down to it, I don't know very much. My guess is that most Americans and most people in world do not know much more. At least on my own behalf, I have some curiosity.

Thanks for any light you may shed on this for me.

brgds,

Mary
