A new poll by Hillel Ontario found that a significant majority of Jewish students had refrained from expressing their pro-Israel believes in public for fear of being criticized and slightly more than half had downplayed their Jewishness in social settings.
Hillel Ontario, which describes itself as the largest regional Hillel in the world with a combined Jewish student population of 14,000 across nine universities, released the findings from the “student pulse check survey” after polling nearly 500 Jewish students between November 2022 and January 2023.
