How are Jewish teens really feeling about Israel since October 7? Research from Brandeis University has identified six distinct categories after interviewing Jewish college students, including affirmed, disillusioned, and more.
Join Moving Traditions as our CEO Shuli Karkowsky sits down with Dr. Jonathan Krasner, chair of Jewish Education Research at Brandeis University, to dig into his research and what it means for our teens today.
The research reveals tensions around Jewish identity, antisemitism, and political engagement, providing insight into how young Jews are navigating life on campus since October 7.
We will also feature teen voices reflecting on the research and sharing about what they are facing in high school and as they prepare for college themselves.
This Moving Traditions “Raising Up Teens” webinar for parents of Jewish youth will include actionable takeaways and resources to use with the teen in your life.
About the Research
“Between Home and Homeland: Jewish College Students Confront the Israel-Gaza Conflict and Campus Divides”
By Jonathan Krasner, Cheryl Weiner, Meka Greenwald & Lance Rothchild
This study examines the experiences of Jewish college students in the United States following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and the resulting Israel-Gaza conflict. Using qualitative analysis, it identifies six distinct response categories based on ratings across seven axes, including connectedness, activism, and emotional well-being. The findings highlight the intersection of global events and polarized campus climates, revealing tensions between Jewish identity, antisemitism, anti-Zionism, and political engagement. This study provides insights into how young Jews navigate vulnerability, community, and solidarity during a time of crisis, revealing responses ranging from pride to alienation.
