School might be out for summer... But in his latest op-ed for @jewishnews.bsky.social, Dr Jonathan Boyd uses our latest research to show why summer camps, Israel tours and Jewish youth movements are not ‘nice-to-haves’. They clearly matter. Available now on our website. Shabbat shalom from JPR 🎓

Our latest report on British Jews thinking about leaving was covered by BBC News and Panorama, @theguardian.com, CNN, @haaretzcom.bsky.social, @jewishnews.bsky.social and @jewishchron.bsky.social. It's not about aliyah. It is about British Jews navigating an increasingly uncertain environment.

Purim is here. A festival of masks, paradoxes and noisy joy, marking the story of how Persian Jews thwarted the evil Haman’s plot to annihilate them. A tale that takes a real form in current events. Compared with other key festivals, Purim is among the least widely observed by British Jews...

#MakingHeadlines The desire to find a 'silver bullet' experience that will forge #JewishIdentity is an understandable ambition. However, as our new landmark study reveals, it is the cumulative effects of multiple experiences working together as part of a larger ecosystem that genuinely matter.
