release of thousands of our
people Iwhile they are still
able tdleave oppressed lands

Fred' Massarik of the
.University of California, Los
Angeles (UCLA), director of
the CJF study and of the
research service bureau of
the Los Angeles Jewish;
Federation Council, the
report showed that "of
current marriages some 16.8

will be raised as Jews. In
homes where only the wife is
Jewish nearly all children
are or were being raised as
Jews. The report was the
result of a - three-year
National Jewish Population
Study,   the   most   com¬
prehensive to date.
The study, a 41-page
working paper "Ex¬
plorations in In¬
