Our Research Areas
The Centers research is designed and conducted by teams that offer a rich mix of skills, experience and perspectives. Researchers include psychologists, sociologists, and Jewish studies experts who share a common interest in Jewish identity, culture, family life, religious expression, and Israel-Diaspora relations. Center researchers are committed to academically rigorous research that contributes to a deeper understanding of modern Jewish life and the role of religion and ethnicity in modern society. "Leading edge" research done at the Center not only contributes to scholarly understanding of contemporary Jewry, but provides policy-makers and Jewish community leaders with timely analyses of current problems. A signature feature of the Cohen Center is its use of innovative research methods to answer complex questions.
