The attack outside a synagogue in Manchester, Britain, has heightened concerns about the security of the Jewish community. The incident, which occurred during Yom Kippur, involved a vehicle ramming into a crowd followed by gunfire. This event has amplified existing anxieties among British Jews. A survey conducted by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR) between June and July 2025, indicates a substantial increase in the number of Jews who feel unsafe in Britain. The report highlights a noticeable shift, with the increase most prominent after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
