A new in-depth survey of British Jews has been launched by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research, which will glean data on a wide range of issues including community engagement, charitable giving, formative Jewish experiences and attachment to Israel.
During the pandemic, the institute has built up a research panel of around 5,000 people and is inviting other members of the community to join.
JPR director Jonathan Boyd said, “It is important that as many Jews as possible share their views, irrespective of how involved they are in Jewish communal life.”
The data from this study, he said, “would be used to help answer key communal questions, such as what forms of Jewish education have the greatest impact, how Jewish representative bodies should best reflect the views of the community they serve, and how the pandemic affected our Jewish lives.”
