AFTER I BLOGGED TODAY, MY WIFE WHO HAS BEEN AFTER ME TO THROW OUT MY OLD PAPERS AND FILES STARTED GIVING ME SOME TO LOOK AT AND PERHAPS DISCARD.
I CAME ACROSS A LETTER DATED AUG 7, 1997 SIGNED BY ANTHONY GORDON AND RICHARD HOROWITZ AUTHORS OF THE FAMOUS STUDYABOUT THE FATE OF JEWISH FAMILIES.
EVIDENTLY I HAD QUOTED THEIR STUDY IN TESTIMONY BEFORE THE KNESSET.
THEY WROTE
"THE SITUATION IS MUCH WORSE THAN YOU QUOTED IN THE KNESSET.
100 CONSERVATIVE JEWS REDUCE DOWN TO 24 IN 3 GENERATIONS (NOT 4 ) (-AS I PROBABLY MISQUOTED) THE REFORM ARE EVEN WORSE WITH 100 REDUCING DOWN TO 13 IN 3 GENERATIONS "
THE STUDY SHOWS SECULAR JEWS HAVE 5 AFTER 2 GENERATIONS.
CENTRIST ORTHODOX 346 AFTER 3 GENERATIONS AND HASIDIC-2,587 AFTER 3 GENERATIONS.
THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT ANYTHING HAS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER IN 15 YEARS.
THUS MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT IDLE ORTHODOX PROPOGANDA.
