The Jewish Federation of North America recently identified a surge in individuals actively seeking connections to Jewish life, particularly among young and mid-life adults who value personal invitations and familiar faces at Jewish events.

The explosion of interest in Jewish life in America, triggered by recent events like the 10/7 attacks against Israel, has led to a significant increase in Jewish belonging and communal participation as evidenced by The Surge, a group comprising 40% of previously less engaged Jews who are now actively participating in Jewish life.
