WikiProject

British Jews (often referred to collectively as Anglo-Jewry) are British people of Jewish descent who maintain a

connection to the Jewish community, either through actively practising Judaism or through cultural and historical

affiliation. The UK is home to the second largest Jewish population in Europe, and has the fifth largest Jewish

community worldwide.[]

The number of identifying Jews in England and Wales has risen slightly over the past

decade, indicating a stability which contrasts with the usual perception of relentless diaspora decline.

According to the results of the 2011 census published, 263,346 people answered Jewish to the voluntary question

on religion, compared with 259,927 in the previous count of 2001. The growth was largely due to the rapid growth of

the Charedi community. However, this final figure is considered an undercount. Demographers David Graham and

Stanley Waterman give several reasons: the underenumeration for censuses in general; the question did not record

secular Jews; the voluntary nature of the question; suspicion by Jews of such questions; and the high non-response

rate for large numbers of Haredi Jews.

History

The first recorded Jewish community in Britain was brought to England in 1070 by King William the Conqueror,

who believed that their commercial skills and incoming capital would make England more prosperous. This

community was expelled in 1290 by King Edward I. As such those in England emigrated to countries such as Poland

which protected them by law. A small community persisted in hiding despite the expulsion. Jews were not banned

from Scotland though in this period as Scotland not only had its different laws but was an independent kingdom.

In 1656 Oliver Cromwell made it clear that the ban on Jewish settlement in England and Wales would no longer be

enforced, although when Rabbi Manasseh Ben Israel brought a petition to allow Jews to return, the majority of the

Protectorate Government turnedit down. Gradually Jews eased back in visiting for trade at first and staying longer

periods. Then they brought their families. At the insistence of the most popular Irish political party leader Daniel

O'Connell, in 1846 the British law "De Judaismo", which prescribed a special dress for Jews, was repealed. In 2006,

the Jewish community celebrated the 350th anniversary of the resettlement in England. Benjamin Disraeli (21

December 1804 19 April 1881), a British Prime Minister, was of Jewish origin, however he was baptized an

Anglican as a teenager; he was also a parliamentarian, conservative politician and literary figure. He served in

government for three decades, twice as Prime Minister.

Demographics

PopulationThe 2001 Census included a (voluntary) religion question ("What is your religion?") for the first time in it s history;

[1]

In Scotland there were two questions: "What religion, religious denomination or body do you belong to?" and "What

religion, religious denomination or body were you brought up in?".[]

266,740 people listed their religion as

"Jewish".[2]

However, the subject of "Who is a Jew?" is complex, and the religion question did not record people

who may be Jewish through other means, such as ethnically and culturally.[3]

Ninety-seven percent of people who

chose Jewish as their religion put White as their ethnic group; however, a report by the Institute for Jewish Policy

Research (JPR) suggests that, although there was an apparent option to write down "Jewish" for this question, it did

not occur to many, because of "skin colour" and nationality bias; and that if "Jewish" was an explicit option, the

resultsonly 2594 respondents were Jewish solely by ethnicitywould have been different.[4]

The religion question

appeared in the 2011 Census, but there was still no explicit option for "Jewish" in the ethnic-group question. TheBoard of Deputies had encouraged all Jews to indicate they were Jewish, either through the religion question or the

ethnicity one.[5]

From 1990 to 2006, the Jewish population showed a decrease from 340,000 Jews to 270,000. According to the 1996

Jewish Policy Review, nearly one in two are marrying people who do not share their faith. From 2005 to 2008, the

Jewish population increased from 275,000 to 280,000, attributed largely to the high birth rates of Haredi (or

ultra-Orthodox) Jews.[6]

Research by the University of Manchester in 2007 showed that 75 percent of British Jewish

births were to the Haredi community.

[7]

Ultra orthodox women have an average of 6.9 children, and secular Jewishwomen 1.65.

[8]

About two-thirds of the UK's Jews live in Greater London or contiguous parts of South Hertfordshire and south-west

Essex. Substantial communities outside the London area include Greater Manchester, home to some 30,000 Jews,

and Leeds, although the Leeds Jewish community became smaller in the late 20th century.[9]

Other substantial

communities include Gateshead, Glasgow and Liverpool, as well as other former industrial cities. Barnet and

Hertsmere councils in the London borders polled as the first and second most Jewish local authorities in England,

with Jews composing one in five and nine residents respectively.

The British Jewish population has a substantially older profile than that of the general population. In England and

Wales, the median age of male Jews is 41.2, while the figure for all males is 36.1; Jewish females have a median age

of 44.3, while the figure for all females is 38.1.[2] A high proportion (83.2 percent) of Jews in England and Wales

were born in the UK.[10]

About 24 percent of the community are over the age of 65 (compared to 16 percent of the

general population of England and Wales). In the 2001 census Jews were the only group in which the number of

persons in the 75-plus cohorts outnumbered those in the 6574 cohort.[citation needed]

In 2013 it has been reported that due to anti-semitic attacks in France upon Jews, this has led to an to an exodus of

French Jews who have moved across to the UK. This has resulted in some synagogues establishing French-language

Shabbat services to fulfill a growing demand.[citation needed]

Religion

There are some 409 synagogues in the country, and it is estimated that 74 percent of the country's Jews are affiliatedwith one.

[11]Of those affiliated, the affiliations are distributed across the following groupings:

Central Orthodox ("consisting of the United Synagogue, the Federation of Synagogues and independent Orthodox

synagogues") 54.7%

Reform (Movement for Reform Judaism and Westminster Synagogue and Chaim VTikvah) 19.4%

Strictly Orthodox ("synagogues aligned with the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations and others of a

similar ethos") 10.9%

Liberal (Liberal Judaism and Belsize Square) 8.7%

Sephardi 3.5%

Masorti (Assembly of Masorti Synagogues) 2.7%[12]

Communal institutions

Cross-communal organisations

British Jewish communal organisations include:

Board of Deputies - founded in 1760, represents the community at a national and international level. All

synagogues and communal organisations are entitled to elect deputies to the Board.

Scottish Council of Jewish Communities - the representative body of all of the Jewish communities in Scotland.

Jewish Leadership Council - comprises the chairpeople of the major organisations in each sector of communal

life, together with key individual leaders of the community.

Community Security Trust - works to ensure the safety and security of the Jewish community in Britain.

Union of Jewish Students - supports Jewish students at university.

London Jewish Forum.

Movement for Reform Judaism - Formerly known as the Reform Synagogues of Great Britain, It is the main

organisational body of Reform Judaism throughout Great Britain.

Education

About 60 percent of school-age Jewish children attend Jewish schools.[13]

Jewish day schools and yeshivas are found

throughout the country. Jewish cultural studies and Hebrew language instruction is commonly offered at synagogues

in the form of supplementary Hebrew schools or Sunday schools. The majority of Jewish schools in Britain are

funded by the government. Jewish educational centres are plentiful, large-scale projects. One of the country's most

famous Jewish schools is the state-funded JFS in London which opened in 1732 and has about 2100 students. It is

heavily over-subscribed and applies strict rules on admissions, which led to a discrimination court case in 2009.[14]

In 2011, another large government funded school opened in North London named JCoSS, the first

cross-denomination Jewish secondary school in the UK.[15]

The Union of Jewish Students is an umbrella organisation that represents Jewish students at university. There are

over 50 Jewish Societies.[16]

British Jews generally have high levels of educational achievement. Compared to the general population, they are 40

percent less likely to have no qualifications, and 80 percent more likely to have "higher-level" qualifications[17]

.

With the exception of under-25s, younger Jews tend to be better educated than older ones.[18]

Limmud

The annual Limmud winter conference is a high-profile educational event of the British Jewish community,

attracting a wide range of international presenters.[19]

Employment

The 2001 Census showed that 30.5 percent of economically active Jews were self-employed, compared to a figure of

14.2 percent for the general population. Jews aged 1624 were more likely to be economically inactive than their

counterparts in the general population; 89.2 percent of these were students.[20]

Media

There are a number of Jewish newspapers, magazines and other media published in Britain on a national level and on

more regional levels. The most famous of these is The Jewish Chronicle, which was founded in 1841 and is the

world's oldest continuously published Jewish newspaper.[21]

Other media include the Jewish Telegraph, Hamodia

and the Jewish Tribune.

Antisemitism

During the second half of the 20th century, in the aftermath of the Holocaust, the undisguised, racial hatred of Jews

became unacceptable in British society. The Jewish community was largely unaffected by occasional outbursts of

antisemitism emanating from far right groups, whose energies were focused on hostility to the more visible black

and ethnic minority communities. However, since the beginning of the 21st century there has been an increase in the

scope and severity of anti-Semitic incidents throughout the country. the dominant source of contemporary

anti-Semitism in the UK is the far right. Although in the aftermath of the Holocaust far right extremism became

marginalized, Holocaust denial and Jewish conspiracy theories remain core elements of far right ideology.

Nevertheless, contemporary anti-Semitism is to be found as well on the left of the political spectrum. Criticism ofIsrael, especially from the left, has been fuelled further by the second Palestinian Intifada and by the invasion of Iraq

in 2003.

A similar explanation was given in a report released in 2012 by the Community Security Trust, documenting

anti-Semitic incidents from JanuaryJune 2012, revealed that the number of incidents rose in these months compared

to incidents in 2011, with 299 cases deemed anti-Semitic. There was a significant rise in the number of anti-Semitic

incidents in March 2012, apparently influenced by the Toulouse and Montauban shootings during that month by

Mohammed Merah.

In 2005, the All-Party Parliamentary Group against Anti-Semitism commissioned an inquiry into antisemitism,

publishing its findings in 2006. The inquiry stated that "until recently, the prevailing opinion both within the Jewish

community and beyond [had been] that antisemitism had receded to the point that it existed only on the margins of

society", and found a reversal of this progress since 2000.[22]

Jonathan Sacks, the chief rabbi, said in 2009 that

increased globalisation was allowing a new kind of antisemitism to permeate into the UK.[23]

He said in 2010 that

UK universities were failing to deal with "inflammatory public speeches" taking place on campus.[24]

The Community Security Trust, a charity to ensure the protection of Jews in the UK, publishes an annual

"Antisemitic Incidents Report".[25]

Number of key anti-Semitic incidents since the year 2000 can be mentioned:

-On November 7, 2003, a synagogue near Manchester was severely damaged in an arson attack.

-On December 28-29, 2008, The Community Security Trust reported that several synagogues were vandalized with

anti-Semitic slogans, including Kill Jews and Jihad 4 Israel and a Jewish community center was spray-painted

with pro-Hamas slogans.

-On December 2009 there were several assaults on Jews and Jewish shops in London, mainly by Arab youths.

-On January 3, 2009, Assailants tried to burn a synagogue in the Brondesbury section of London.

-On January 19, 2009, A 31-year-old Jewish man was beaten in London by several men who shouted for Gaza as

they attacked him.

-On July 4, 2012, A Jewish male was severely beaten in London by four assailants and taunted with anti-Semitic

epithets.

-On July 23, 2013, A group of Hasidic Jewish boys riding on a coach bus near Sheerness were attacked by a gang of

teenagers who shouted anti-Semitic slurs while pelting the bus with rocks and eggs.[26]
