NEW YORK (JTA)—According to a new poll commissioned by the Reform movement’s ARZA World Union, Israeli Jews identify more wit

The survey of 499 Israeli Jews also showed that 35 percent of Israeli Jews identify most with Reform Judaism, 29 percent with Orthodox and 13 percent with Conservative Judaism.

Approximately 20 percent said they either don't identify with any religious stream or don't know about the differences.

Those skeptical of the poll said it forces people to identify with a religious stream even if they don't make that choice in their life.
