Jewish conservatism

Jewish conservatism is political and social conservatism rooted in or inspired by Judaism and specifically Jewish concerns.

Not to be confused with Conservative Judaism, a Jewish religious movement.

In a 2015 essay for Mosaic, Eric Cohen identified three planks of Jewish conservatism: Jewish ideas about traditional family, hawkish foreign policy, and economic liberalism.[1]

Neoconservatism is an American political movement that formed in opposition to the New Left. Many neoconservatives were Jews disillusioned by leftist anti-Zionism.[2][3]
