Abstract
We are grateful that the Pew Research Center’s 2013 Survey of U.S. Jews and our follow-up report, “A Portrait of American Orthodox Jews,” continue to generate discussion among scholars of American Jewry. In this essay, we provide additional background about how and why we produced the portrait of Orthodox Jews and attempt to answer some of the questions raised by the essays in this volume, especially regarding differences between Orthodox Jewish men and women.

Notes
- 1.
The survey respondents include 228 self-identified Orthodox men and 289 Orthodox women.
- 2.
These figures do not necessarily indicate the age of first marriage, but rather indicate the age at which married people entered their current marriage. The survey asked all respondents whether they are married and then followed up by asking married people when they married their current spouse. It did not ask respondents whether their current marriage is their first marriage, nor did it ask respondents how old they were when they first married.
