Using data from JPR's National Jewish Student Survey, this study uses advanced statistical methods to examine the impact of different Jewish educational interventions on the identities of Jewish students in the UK.

An important study using UK Census data to assess how the composition of the British Jewish population is likely to change over the coming decades, and focusing in particular on the changing numerical balance between the strictly Orthodox and mainstream Jewish communities.

Conducted in partnership with the Board of Deputies of British Jews, this study paints a broad portrait of declining levels of synagogue affiliation, but demonstrates how that pattern of decline is being counteracted by some denominational sectors, most notably the strictly Orthodox.

An up-to-date look at synagogue membership figures in the UK, which provide the only consistent indicator of patterns of Jewish affiliation and belonging over time. Produced by JPR on behalf of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.

A study of recently gathered JPR/CST data examining attitudes towards Israel and Jews among the population of Great Britain, and providing in-depth statistical analysis of proponents of boycotts of the State of Israel and those contending that Israel is an apartheid state.

Overall it was found that 43 per cent of the sample felt a strong attachment to Israel. Yet, if current trends prevail, attachment to Zionism and to the Jewish state could become the concern of only a minority with a mostly Traditional or Orthodox religious outlook.

The first national survey to examine British Jewish attitudes to Israel in depth.  It demonstrates that British Jews are strongly attached to the country, and whilst deeply concerned about Israel's security needs, they are also eager to see compromises made in the quest for peace.
