“As we face unprecedented global challenges, JPR’s work remains crucial to ensuring Jewish communities in the UK and Europe are empowered with the data and insights they need to navigate these turbulent times. Together with our exceptional team, we will continue to provide the intelligence and resilience our communities need to thrive.”
Dr Jonathan Boyd, executive director of JPR, said: “I want to express my deepest thanks to Stephen for his nearly decade-long dedication to JPR. Under his leadership, JPR’s influence expanded significantly, making our research more relevant than ever to leaders and policymakers worldwide.
