The rate of intermarriage in West Australia is the highest of any state in the Commonwealth, the executive council of the Australian Jewish Conference was told today.
The report, prepared by the West Australian Jewish Board of Deputies, predicted that disappearance of the Jewish community could result from the current rate of intermarriage combined with the present “negligible” rate of immigration. Similar fears were expressed at the recent annual meeting of the Queensland Jewish Board of Deputies.
