I think in 100 years, when people think of Jews, they’ll think more of people like this:

 

  Orthodox and Hasidic Jews are likely the long-term future of Judaism.

I think there are two reasons for this: intermarriage and fertility rates. Hassidic jews and orthodox Jews are much less likely to marry outside their faith, and they’re much more likely to have more children — and in many cases, many more children.

Here’s a chart from the Jewish Forward

If you have two subgroups - a large one barely growing if growing at all, and a smaller group that’s growing exponentially, it’s only a matter of time until the smaller group becomes the larger group.

The future of Judaism is going to be one that’s more Orthodox. Hasidic Jews will be a larger portion of total Jews in 100 years than today.

I quote the Brownstoner about NYC Jews: “Between 2002 and 2011, the percentage of Jews who identify as Orthodox rose from 34 to 40 percent. The percentage of Jewish children who are Orthodox? 74.”

74%? Yeah, the future is Orthodox.
