Abstract: This article examines the impact of the October 7 attack on Israel on relations between officials of the Jewish communities in Europe and Israel. For this purpose, interviews were conducted with representatives of Jewish communities and institutions. The analysis showed that the events have led to increased support and solidarity with Israel. In addition, increased participation in aid campaigns and a stronger bond with Israel were observed. The attack changed the perception of Israel as a “safe haven” and led to a deeper exploration of Jewish identity.
