Poll: 77% of Jews around the world feel secure

More than three quarters of the world’s Jews feel safe in their own countries, a new poll of Jewish communities across the globe finds.

According to the survey by the Jewish Community Centers (JCC), 77 percent of local Jewish leaders around the world say their communities do not feel threatened, Ynet reports. In Europe, however, just 56% of Jewish leaders say their communities feel safe.

Asked if the tense situation in Israel has an impact, 46% say the community’s sense of security is unaffected by the conflict, while only 35% say they feel less secure. Furthermore, 10% say they currently feel a stronger sense of personal safety.

Respondents also say unity of their own communities ranks highest among the challenges faced by Diaspora Jewry, along with combating assimilation and battling anti-Semitism.
