MOMENT MAGAZINE AT FIFTY
To gauge the American Jewish mood and thinking at a time of turmoil in the United States, Moment conducted a survey of our readers earlier this year. The results paint a portrait of a community whose habits and sense of well-being have shifted over five decadesÂâand more dramatically since October 7, 2023. Sadly, a majority say they donât think Jews are better off and more accepted today than 50 years ago when Moment was launched. The culprit? The shocking resurgence of antisemitism. To see more survey results, visit momentmag.com/2025-reader-survey.

I am a Zionist but I am not supportive of starving people or taking their land as a means to an end.
