YNET – Some 200 rabbis and Jewish community leaders report a 75% increase in the number of Europeans hiding their Jewish identity; only 15% of the continent’s Jews plan to attend synagogue prayers during the High Holidays. About 70 percent of Europe’s Jews conceal their religion and avoid any activity which may uncover their Jewish identity, likely for fear of being harassed, according to reports from rabbis and leaders of Jewish communities in the continent. Ahead of the Jewish New Year and High Holidays, the Rabbinical Center of Europe (RCE) and European Jewish Association (EJA) asked a representative sample of 197 community leaders in Western and Eastern Europe how many people plan to visit synagogues during Rosh Hashana. According to the findings, only about 15% of Europe’s Jews plan to attend the prayers and shofar blowing with their children, while 85% will stay away. This figure marks a considerable rise of about 75 percent in the number of Jews concealing their religion within one year, after a similar survey conducted about a year ago found that only 40 percent of Europe’s Jews fail to express their Jewish identity in any way – neither religiously nor socially-communally – and 75 percent of their children don’t go to Jewish schools. Major security measures at synagogues This year also saw a significant rise in the number of Jews who will not attend synagogue, after a similar survey conducted last year found that about 70 percent won’t participate in the holiday prayers, not even on Yom Kippur. The estimate at the time was that the assimilation level among European Jews amounted to about 80 percent. EJA General Director Rabbi Menachem Margolin said that “Jewish communities are working hard to help Jews attend Rosh Hashanah services. Major Security measures are being taken and we can report that there is a relative increase in the number of Jews who have expressed their intention to attend synagogues over Rosh Hashanah with their families, compared to last year.” Rabbi Margolin called on the Israeli government to increase Jewish education in the Diaspora, saying that “most young people whose parents avoid identification as Jews will not maintain any connection to the Jewish people and their homeland. This is a serious trend not only in terms of European Jewry but also a strategic problem of the State of Israel.” He added that the different Jewish organizations across Europe were working both vis-à-vis the European Union and vis-à-vis the different governments in order to boost security around synagogues and Jewish institutions and revive Jewish life in every city with Jewish residents. “We are dealing now with a pincer movement,” Margolin said. “On the one hand, repeated waves of anti-Israel harassment, which is really anti-Semitic expression, and on the other hand – especially in light of what already seems like the Islamization of many cities throughout the continent, a murky wave of nationalism and xenophobia.” Poster Comment: People have a longer history than Americans with Jews so they know more than we do.

They must be talking about observant Jues. Surprised if there's such a significant number of them -- tumples here seem to be fading just like churches. wikid: "A 2003 Harris Poll found that 16% of American Jews go to the synagogue at least once a month, 42% go less frequently but at least once a year, and 42% go less frequently than once a year."
wow that's a very interesting statistic. so the large majority of 'jews' are not religious at all but rather their 'jewishness' is an identity of 'jewish supremacy', as dr Duke so eloquently points out. forget the commandments, or even the torah, jew power, control, and victimhood is what its about.
You're a fast learner, I must say :-) I keep trying to interest people in the extremely revealing documentary DEFAMATION. Damning crumbs on this subject from 43:39 www.youtube.com/watch? v=XNWF9CeoZdE Harvey Prince (shown with mannish wife) is an ADL Executive Committee member no less. But remember, even for those who to go to tumple, it's almost entirely a feelgood and political/tribal thing -- the reading of Torah etc is just window dressing. I know -- I've seen it from the inside. Another damning thing about this film. Except for key players like Foxman or the rabbis, it's mostly the Jueish females that do all the talking -- and they're noisy as hell. In the extended footage of Izrulli kids visiting Auschwitz the boys say hardly a word the whole time. Jue women are known to be inordinately high-testosterone -- at the same time it gives a very female (not to say feminine) cast to Jue thought and culture.
