Pew and the Jews: ‘So What?’
“A Portrait of Jewish Americans” seemed to offer little we hadn’t been hearing for some years now, whether about intermarriage, the emphasis on culture over religion, or the relative rise and fall of particular denominations. We were curious to note that many Jews are cool with the idea of Jesus-as-Messiah—even more curious as to how that question made it onto the list. (And yes, we’re working on that story as we speak.)
But in the end, we decided to go above our own heads and ask an eminent group of writers, scholars and activists to respond to the brief prompt: “So what?”
Their answers, linked below, tease unexpected meaning from Pew’s results.
