Abstract

Its main purposes were to establish patterns of Jewish family life and to identify the main forms and content of the family message regarding cultural heritage at the disposal of religious families.

According to Jerzy Nikitorowicz, they are: a functional element – transmission mechanisms; an objective element – content of the cultural goods transmitted; a subjective element – carriers of tradition; and an educational element. At the first stage of the research, several free-form interviews (similar to expert opinion survey) Based on the interviews the most important contexts regarding the transmission of cultural content in the modern family and the essence of the transmission of Jewish religious and linguistic heritage were sought.
