THE GILDED GHETTO: Much
is being said and written nowadays
about the younger generation of
Jews in the United States . . .
Questions are being asked as to
how many of them really feel
Jewish, and whether Judaism has
any meaning to them . . A study
published by Yale University at
tempts to give a comprehensive
answer to these questions . . .
The study, entitled “Children of
the Gilded Ghetto,” was conducted
by two Jewish sociologists—Judith
Kramer and Seymour Leventman
—who chose Minneapolis for their
survey . . . They sought to estab
lish the attitude of the third-gene-
eration Jew toward such questions
as anti-Semitism, family life, reli
gion, business, education, philan
thropy, club membership and Is
rael . . .
They also sought to compare
the sentiments of the third-gen
eration Jew with those of the
second-generation . . . What did
they establish? . . , The third-gen
eration Jew, of about 35 years of
age, has more general education
than that of the second-generation,
but his income is smaller . . The
average annual income of the
fathers is $14,300, while the in
come of the son averages $10,300
a year . . . Proportionately, three
times as many fathers as sons have
incomes of over $20,000 a year . . .
The mien of the third genera
tion is one of general contentment
with its economic position . . . Few
feel economically deprived in any
way . . . More than half have ful
filled their occupational aspira
tions; another 19 percent had no
particular aspirations ... Of the
remaining 30 percent, most had
changed their occupation plans
because they found that a parti
cular occupation was not suffi
ciently remunerative . . . Only few
specifically cited being Jewish as
a reason for changing their occu
pational plans . . .
These are mostly older members
of the third generation who en
countered more discrimination be
fore World War II than their
juniors do now . . They acknowl
edge that “things have changed
now” ... Of those interviewed,
56 percent said they feel no urge
to strive for economic “success” as
their parents did . . . They prefer
rather “to do what they want,” to
have jobs they enjoy, and to have
sufficient time left over to spend
with their families . . .
While their fathers had the am
bition to build successful busi
nesses or professional practices,
the sons have only the ambition
to inherit them . . They prefer to
