| Abstract | A number of studies have been made of assimilation as a social process, but this study has been undertaken for a particular purpose, namely, to investigate the religious and other cultural factors in social control affecting the assimilation of Jews in Los Angeles, and to ascertain to what extent there are noticeable variations in the effects of these factors in three distinct areas available for comparison.; The three areas are: Beverly Hills, Beverlywood and Boyle Heights. The two latter are a part of the city of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills is an incorporated city within the environs of the city of Los Angeles.; The cultural factors in social control which have been emphasized in this study fall within the religious, educational and socio-economic categories.; A working hypothesis has been taken into consideration while planning the pattern of this study, namely, that the Jewish people have shown different rates of assimilation under social conditions which differ according to the following: 1. Synagogue affiliation. 2. Religious preference. a. Orthodox b. Conservative c. Reform d. Other 3. Intensiveness of Jewish education. 4. Nature of residential area. a. Segregated area b. Mixed area c. Gentile area 5. Jewish organization membership. 6. Occupational differences. 7. Socio-economic status.; The present study is an attempt to indicate the relative importance of selected cultural factors in social control involved in the process of Jewish assimilation. It is not within the scope of this study to justify or condemn the rate of assimilation of the Jew, but rather to define the situation as it exists, and to suggest those conditions enhancing or retarding the assimilation of the Jew. |
