Did Jews die disproportionately from Covid-19? And if so – how can we explain this and what can we do?
Dr Jonathan Boyd
JPR’s groundbreaking study of mortality from Covid-19 among Jews provides the first picture of the effects of the pandemic on Jewish communities around the world. Drawing on new data from Israel, the United States, Canada, Australia and across Europe, our European Jewish Demography Unit team explores what happened to Jews during the first wave of the pandemic, and what insights we might draw from that experience.
