In this episode, we speak with Prof. Sylvia Barack Fishman about her wealth of research in the Orthodox community, and especially her just-released report: "Responding to the Realities of Single Modern Orthodox Jews"; as well as a new survey of 300+ Orthodox (Modern and Haredi) singles, exploring various aspects of their lives. What do you want to know about the Orthodox community? Each episode includes listener questions and answers. Email us at [email protected] to let us know what areas of the Orthodox community you'd like us to explore. You ask the questions … we'll try to come up with answers. In this episode we respond to a question about demographic growth rates: Is American Modern Orthodoxy growing? If so, how quickly? What about a Haredi Jewry? Are they growing more rapidly than Modern Orthodoxy, suggesting that the balance between the two branches of Orthodoxy is shifting?
