In Jewish Family: Identity and Self-Formation at Home Alex Pomson
and Randal F. Schnoor advance a new appreciation for the deep
significance of Jewish family in developing Jewish identity. This
book is the result of ten years of research focused on a small
sample of diverse families. Through their work, the authors paint
an intricate picture of the ecosystem that the family unit provides
for identity formation over the life course. They draw upon
theories of family development as well as sociological theories of
the transmission of social and cultural capital in their analysis
of the research. They find that family networks, which are often
intergenerational, are just as significant as cultural capital,
such as knowledge and competence in Judaism, to the formation of
Jewish identity. Pomson and Schnoor provide readers with a unique
view into the complexity of being Jewish in North America today.

Demise by assimilation or antisemitism is often held to be the
inevitable future of Jews in Canada and other diaspora countries.
The Ever-Dying People? shows that the Jewish diaspora, while often
held to be in decline, is influenced by a range of identifiable
sociological and historical forces, some of which breathe life into
Jewish communities, including Canada's. Bringing together leading
Canadian and international scholars, The Ever-Dying People?
provides a landmark report on Canadian Jewry based on recent
surveys, censuses, and other contemporary data sources from Canada
and around the world. This collection compares Canada's Jews with
other Canadian ethnic and religious groups and with Jewish
communities in other diaspora countries, including the United
States, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia. It also sheds
light on social divisions within Canadian Jewry: across cities,
sub-ethnic groups, denominations, genders, economic strata, and
political orientations. These bases of comparison usefully explain
variation in a wide range of sociological phenomena, including
ethnic identity, religiosity, acculturation, intermarriage,
discrimination, economic achievement, and educational attainment.
