Manage episode 359711897 series 3341830
In this episode, we speak with the noted Jewish world demographer Dr. Daniel Staetsky about population trends, particularly in the Haredi world. Dr. Staetsky is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (London), and has published widely on Jewish, Israeli and European demography and social statistics. He has written many popular columns in the Times of Israel.
Many of the Orthodox community research studies we reference in this podcast are available and downloadable free at http://nishmaresearch.com/social-research.html. These include our recent article “Nishma V’Naaseh?” and our just-released report “The Nishma Research 2023 Jewish Community Profile” - Beliefs, Practices, Attitudes and Priorities Across the Jewish Community With a Focus on U.S. Modern Orthodox and Haredi (Chasidish and Yeshivish) Sectors.
In our "What Do You Want to Know?” segment, we answer a listener question that has been posed a few times, and we suggest that the question needs to be more nuanced if we were to pursue research on the issue raised. As presented to us: “Why does the Chasidic community refuse to provide a proper education for its students?”
