UK Jewish Emigration Hits 40-Year High Amid Antisemitism Concerns, Aliyah Rates Stable
Emigration from the United Kingdom reached a 40-year high in 2025, driven by concerns over rising antisemitism, according to a report by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research. Despite this increase, the rate of aliyah, or Jewish immigration to Israel, has remained stable over the years. The report, authored by JPR Executive Director Dr. Jonathan Boyd, highlights that while 742 British Jews made aliyah in 2025, this figure falls within the historical range of 400 to 740 emigrants per year. The report also notes that the lowest number of Jewish emigrants from the UK in the last two decades was recorded in 2023, with just 396 individuals. The increase in 2025 is attributed to renewed plans for aliyah that were previously disrupted by war. The report emphasizes that while there is no mass exodus, the Jewish community in the UK is increasingly reassessing its future due to rising antisemitism and a sense of conditional security.
