Are You a Secular Jew Between the Ages of 18 and 29?
By Dan Friedman September 9, 2009
Thanks to MASA, the question of whether you are a secular Jew or just a Jew in denial is particularly live at the moment. So Chana Etengoff could hardly have chosen a better time to study the reactions of that particular segment of society. Although, perhaps tellingly, she’s having trouble finding people who self-identify as a secular Jew between 18 and 29.
She’s studying the post high school values and beliefs of the various strata and subcategories of the Jewish community. The really thoughtful thing about her survey is that she allows the people surveyed to find out what they believe and value — so it is really an investment that will save many hours of meditation, classes and soul-searching.
But, if her troubles continue, perhaps she can just extend the survey to JuBus.
Below is the link to the survey:
Would you like to take a couple of moments to discover more about yourself and your stage in life?
Below is a link to an on-line research study survey which will present you with questions regarding your assessment of your values, beliefs, and current stage of life. All answers will be confidential and your identity can be anonymous if you so chose.
It only takes 20-30 minutes to discover more about yourself, share your story, and contribute to psychological theory. Not bad, considering it can take years to write an autobiography.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
