Committed, concerned and conciliatory: The attitudes of Jews in Britain towards Israel

Published: 2010
Author(s): David Graham and Jonathan Boyd

JPR’s latest report examines the attitudes of Jews in Britain to Israel.  Exploring a wide range of issues including the place of Israel in Jewish identity, perceptions of contemporary Israeli society, and opinions on some of the key political issues, it is the most definitive study ever conducted on the topic.

We hope the data will be used both for scholarly purposes, and to encourage debate within the Jewish community about our individual and collective relationship with Israel.

Synagogue membership in the United Kingdom in 2010

Published: 2010
Author(s): David Graham and Daniel Vulkan

A report published jointly for the first time by the Board of Deputies of British Jews and JPR, and co-authored by Dr David Graham, JPR’s Director of Social and Demographic Research, and Daniel Vulkan, Research and Information Officer at the Board, reveals a dynamic picture of communal change in the UK community, and charts significant changes in its religious make-up.

The report is of particular interest to community leaders and planners because it provides the only consistent indicator of patterns of Jewish affiliation and Jewish belonging over time.

The political leanings of Britain's Jews

Published: 2010
Author(s): Dr David Graham
With a week to go before the General Election on May 6, JPR has just released new data which throws light on the political leanings of Britain’s Jews.  The findings are based on an online questionnaire carried out during January and February 2010, from which JPR randomly selected and analysed 1,000 responses.
