AJC 2018 Survey of American and Israeli Jewish Opinion

On the opening day of the first-ever AJC Global Forum in Israel, AJC released its annual survey of American Jewish opinion along with a companion survey capturing the views of Israeli Jews. The two surveys shed light on the perspectives of American and Israeli Jews on a range of important topics touching on the relationship between the Jewish state and the Diaspora, support for a two-state solution, attitudes toward President Trump and his decision to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, and much more.

The message of the AJC survey is clear. If the concept of a global Jewish community – am ehad – is to retain any meaning, each of its two major components must develop a greater appreciation for the priorities and needs of the other. If not, the next AJC survey will find even more American and Israeli Jews writing off those in the other country as “not part of my family.”
