Sorry for being a nuisance, I dont see where it says int he report that the intermarriage rate for Any group of Jews in 1970 was 75%.
They have two tables relevant to our discussion. on page 35 they break down by year but not denomination with numbers very similar to those posted above.
On page 37 they break down by denomination but not year
conservative 27%
Reform 50%
No denomination 69%
Combined is obviously less than 69% let alone 75%. (Im too lazy to actually calculate it but given that reform is 35% and conservative 18% of the population (page 10), the intermarriage average is closer to 50% than 69% (No denomination is 30%) regardless it seems to be less than 69% let alone 75%
however I dont have a hard time believing 75% intermarriage rate today. Though a source for that would be nice.
I do have a very hard time accepting a 75% intermarrige rate over the past 50 years as cherrybim said above. that was the source I was looking for.
