Episode six: Jon and Raymond search for a Jewish peoplehood, with the help of Clare Goldwater
Dr Jonathan Boyd
‘Kol Israel Arevim Zeh Bazeh’ – all Israel are responsible for one another – says the Talmud. But do Jews in the UK feel that way today? In the sixth episode of the 'Jews Do Count' podcast, Raymond and Jon search for a Jewish Peoplehood: do we feel connected to other Jews in the UK and around the world? And if so, how exactly? They are joined by Clare Goldwater, Chief Strategy Officer at M Squared – The Institute for Experiential Jewish Education, to discuss the multiple aspects of Jewish Peoplehood and what can be done to strengthen it. At the same time, producer Richard Miron asks community members in London what it means to them personally.
Available on multiple platforms, including:
In 'Jews Do Count podcast', Dr Jonathan Boyd (Executive Director, Institute for Jewish Policy Research) and Raymond Simonson (CEO, JW3 London) come together to discuss Jewish identity today, drawing on the most recent JPR data and their longstanding experience of working in Jewish community life. The two hosts grapple with some of the findings from the landmark JPR report, ’Jews in the UK today’, published in February 2024, and explore some of its major themes with leading specialists from the UK Jewish community. The report is based on the responses of nearly 5,000 British Jews to the JPR National Jewish Identity Survey – the largest survey of its kind to date.
This series was produced, recorded and edited by Richard Miron from Earshot Strategies – the podcast consultancy.
