2025 Greater Boston Jewish Community Study update

CJP has commissioned a study of the Jewish population of Greater Boston to learn not only about the size and characteristics of the Jewish community, but also about the issues they care for the most. With this information, we can work with you to build a stronger, more vibrant Jewish community.

In the coming weeks, some of your constituents or members will receive a letter or postcard from our research partner, SSRS, inviting them to complete the survey — online, on paper, or by phone — if they are one of the 170,000 households randomly selected. If you or your constituents need more information, please direct them to the 2025 Greater Boston Jewish Community Study webpage.
