JPR regularly undertakes research work for clients both within and beyond the Jewish community. We hold several major datasets on Jews and Jewish issues in the UK and across Europe which were designed to support Jewish community interests, and which can be used to help clients understand the populations and topics that most concern them. …read more
One of the key ways to understand any Jewish population is by investigating its most fundamental social statistics – numbers of births and deaths, immigration and emigration, community affiliation and Jewish school enrolment. In the UK, there has been a long tradition of gathering these types of data, led for many years by the Board of Deputies of British Jews. Today, this work is undertaken solely by JPR. …read more

With this in mind, we regularly present our work at community events and academic conferences in the UK, across Europe, in Israel and the United States and around the world. …read more
Our European Jewish Research Archive (EJRA) is a publicly available online repository of research publications about contemporary European communities published since 1990. Sponsored by the Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe, the archive went live in 2015, and works in collaboration with the Berman Jewish Policy Archive (BJPA) in New York so that each one is accessible from the other’s website. …read more
