Abstract: This book contains a discussion of transformations within British Jewry in recent times. The book examines the changing nature of the British Jewish community and its leadership since 1990. The authors contend that there has been a shift within Jewish communal discourse from a strategy of security, which emphasized Anglo-Jewry's secure British belonging and citizenship, to a strategy of insecurity, which emphasizes the dangers and threats Jews face individually and communally.
