Survey: Many older American Jews feel insecure, especially since Oct. 7

Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 12:26

TL;DR

A new survey published by ynet finds that a significant number of older Jewish adults in the United States report feeling insecure, with the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre cited as a key factor. The survey highlights the lasting psychological impact of the attack on the American Jewish community.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The survey, published by ynet on Friday, indicates that the sense of insecurity among older American Jews has intensified since the Oct. 7 attack. The Zioneer has previously reported on surveys documenting widespread antisemitism experiences among American Jews (including a July 3 report on American Jews living in fear). The new survey adds a generational dimension, focusing on older adults who may feel particularly vulnerable. Specific figures and methodology were not provided in the initial report.
