520 |a This study is a preliminary attempt to understand the goals which motivate Jews to attend High Holy Day services and thereby to appreciate more fully the meaning of their Jewishness to them. A 30-item questionnaire was administered to four samples taken from the membership of three Conservative congregations, and also, for comparative purposes, to small samples of specially selected Orthodox and Reform Jews. The strongest motivation reported by Conservative Jews was "Jewish identification". Most of them regarded the service itself as next strongest in attracting their attendance, but those who worship at least monthly found the desire to relate to God to be even more compelling. In sharp contrast to the Orthodox, the Conservative subjects (including the regular attenders) had little expectation of influencing God by their prayers.
