A major new survey has been launched by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR) to assess the opinions and experiences of British Jews in the aftermath of 7 October.
The 2025 Jews in Uncertain Times Survey is open to anyone in the UK aged 16 or over who identifies as Jewish. It will collect data on views about Israel and Gaza, rising antisemitism in Britain, and the current state of Jewish communal life.
Dr Jonathan Boyd, Executive Director of JPR, said the study was essential to guiding decision-making across the community and in government. “If we expect community leaders and politicians to be able to navigate their way through these challenging times, it is essential that they have accurate and reliable data to guide their thinking and planning,” he said.
“This survey is designed to do that – to ensure that they have a full and credible picture of Jewish opinion, particularly around Israel and antisemitism in the post- 7 October context, but also on critical issues concerning how to sustain the Jewish religious, educational and social care frameworks that support so many of us.”
The survey is the seventh to be conducted using the JPR Research Panel. Respondents participate anonymously, and the organisation says it aims to provide policy-relevant data to strengthen Jewish life in the UK.
Previous JPR surveys have informed responses by government departments, local authorities and national Jewish institutions.
