Résumé anglais A. Memmi, W. Ackermann, N. Zoberman, S. Zoberman : The Characteristic and feeling of difference felt by Jews. This partial report on a study of « Jewishness » in France shows the connection between the « feeling of difference » and certain variables such as religious practice, socio-cultural characteristics and the participation in Jewish groups or institutions. It was observed that there is, little relationship between the feeling of difference and religious practice, although this feeling is more frequent when there are religious practice. There is also a slight correlation between the feeling of difference and socio-professional category ; there is, however indication of a more positive correlation in the « well-off » category belonging to a religious community. This correlation shows the existence of a conflict of cultural norms. This conflict is also present when the feeling of difference is correlated with the attitude towards Jewish institutions. In this sense the feeling of being different is not a good indicator of the feeling of being Jewish. It should be pointed out that the affirmation of self plays a more important role in the feeling of difference than reference to the perceptions of others.
