#MakingHeadlines BBC Radio 4 dives into the relationship between #Jews in the UK and Israel, and how the #October7massacre impacted what #BritishJews feel about #Zionism, the war and more. With JPR's Dr Jonathan Boyd. Now available on @bbcsounds.bsky.social: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

We are shocked by the attack on Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, and our thoughts are with the family and friends of the two victims, Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby, as well as the injured. Shocked, but not surprised.

The #JewishNewYear starts this evening, with its opening holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, both days focused on reflection and introspection, and Succot to follow. To you, your families and your friends: #ShanaTova – a happy, healthy and hopefully, a peaceful new year - from JPR. 🍎🍯

#MakingHeadlines The desire to find a 'silver bullet' experience that will forge #JewishIdentity is an understandable ambition. However, as our new landmark study reveals, it is the cumulative effects of multiple experiences working together as part of a larger ecosystem that genuinely matter.

#makingheadlines This week, Jews worldwide wear costumes to celebrate the #Jewish festival of #Purim. But, as JPR Executive Director Dr Jinathan Boyd writes in his op-ed for The @jewishnews.bsky.social, many #Jews feel that they have to wear masks and hide their identity all year long.

#MakingImpact Governments, civil society, representatives and experts from across the 57 @euosce.bsky.social member countries met this week in #Helsinki to discuss efforts to counter #antisemitism and other forms of #intolerance at the annual Conference on Addressing Antisemitism in the OSCE.

#MakingHeadlines #Israel crossed 10 million inhabitants, surpassing countries such as Austria, Hungary, and Switzerland. It is no longer a "small nation". Prof Sergio DellaPergola, Chair of the JPR European #Demography Unit, writes to [email protected] about it.

Today is #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay. 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, #antisemitism has increased following the #october7 attacks in Israel by Hamas and the subsequent war in Gaza. But are there any signs of a Jewish 'exodus' from the UK?

News reports suggesting a massive ‘surge’ in #BritishJewish migrating to Israel have been going the rounds recently in the media. “#Jews are leaving the UK due to #antisemitism!” some reporters say. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲.

#MakingHeadlines Our new study of Jews in the #Netherlands exemplifies how #DemographicResearch can improve local community services, help us better understand recent global trends, and shake a few myths.

#MakingImpact We are fortunate to have Lord Leigh of Hurley as JPR’s president. Last Wednesday at the House of Lords, he shared with his colleagues a few startling figures and conclusions from JPR's latest report on the impact #October7 had on the British #Jewish community. youtu.be/JdrCcBeTjkY
