1. Professor of American Jewish History Jack Wertheimer said this of Orthodox Jews:

   “…the one major exception to the general rule, namely, Orthodox Jews.
   Not only do the Orthodox suffer many fewer losses from intermarriage,
   but their fertility rate is far above the Jewish norm…
   The statistical evidence behind these birthrates is laid out in the 2000-01 NJPS.”

2. “[Jack] Wertheimer and others laud the Orthodox who choose to have large families.”
