Isolation, Antisemitism and a Thirst for Community
Since October 7, OLAM has seen a surge in Jews working in secular international development and humanitarian aid who are seeking connection and support — often in response to isolation, strained relationships, or antisemitism at work.
This first-of-its-kind quantitative study, commissioned by OLAM and conducted by Burson, sheds light on their experiences, offering critical insights into how Jewish identity intersects with workplace dynamics in this sector.
