Religion + Numbers: Do Jews live longer?

What can the latest health crisis teach us about Jewish longevity?

JPR’s Dr Daniel Staetsky presents the evidence on responses to Covid-19 within Jewish communities, based on JPR’s vital work throughout the pandemic, in this webinar with the Woolf Institute.
