Splitting American Jews into temperamentally liberal, centrist, and conservative groups, a JPPI poll found that while liberal Jews have felt less pro-Israel than in years past, most centrist and conservative Jews feel at least as connected to Israel as their parents, if not more.
In terms of Jewish identity, almost all Jews of all stripes light Hanukkah candles at home and just 10% of them set up a Christmas tree in their home during that holiday.
Most Jews, especially the conservatives (99%) consider it legitimate for Israel to refuse to a ceasefire until all the hostages are released, and there is also a broad consensus regarding the importance of the IDF's activity in Syria.
Furthermore, although a third of US Jews feel less safe because of October 7th and the war, there has been a recorded improvement in their feelings of safety compared to previous months.
President-elect Donald Trump is reported to be planning to focus on deporting foreign students involved in the violent and threatening anti-Israel protests which took place in the months following October 7th and during the war.
