This is an English translation of the #IsraeliJudaism Project questionnaire, which was created as part of JPPI's Pluralism Project, supported by the William Davidson Foundation. On the basis of these questions, Prof. Camil Fuchs developed a new model to represent the structure of Jewish society in Israel. Once you have answered all the questions, you can see where you are on the map of Israeli Judaism and compare yourself to Israeli Jews by political affiliation, religious affiliation, age and ethnicity. Please note that the questionnaires you fill here are collected by the staff of Jewish People Policy Institute for further statistical analysis.
