"A new #California bill would require state government forms that collect #demographic #data to add “#Jewish” as an #ethnic #identity.

This would both allow California #Jews to identify themselves as an #ethnicity for the first time and make California the first state required to collect data on Jews in this way.

Checking the box will be optional.

Currently, some state government forms ask a question about religion and include “Jewish” as a response. State Sen. #HenryStern (D-Sherman Oaks), a California Legislative Jewish Caucus member who introduced #SB1387, told J. that the state needs better demographic data on California Jews. He added that some Jews may identify as Jewish #ethnically instead of #religiously."
