Abstract:	Initial results are now available from the NJPS 2000-01. This large-scale telephone survey of the U.S. population was conducted using random digit dialing. Over 175,000 households were screened for religious identity. There has been a lot of debate in the press about the findings of this study. Among the topics covered will be: how many Jews are really in the U.S.; religious composition of the U.S.; demographic outlook for the next 10 years; what are the effects of intermarriage on the number of Jews; and selected data by denomination.
