Community Pulse Project
JNPRI is partnering with the Orthodox Union (OU) and leaders in Orthodox Jewish communities around the country to create survey panels of community members. Panelists will complete regular, brief surveys on issues of communal concern, allowing leadership to understand trends and respond quickly to developing needs.
