Jewish conservatism is political and social conservatism rooted in, or inspired by, Judaism, and specifically Jewish concerns.
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 American Jewish conservatives either identify personally or have been categorized as Neoconservative; though the term in general post-Bush administration has taken on a negative connotation (Neocon or Neo-Con is usually derogatory, and synonymous of being a warmonger) and will nowadays find few American conservatives actually espousing to be Neoconservative. Many Neoconservatives were Jewish liberals displeased with leftist anti-Zionism.[2][3]
Some Jewish conservatives in the west, especially those in the United States, ally themselves with conservative Christians, under the perception of shared "Judeo-Christian values".
Prominent Jewish conservatives in the United States include Bari Weiss,[4] Ben Shapiro, Josh Hammer, Dennis Prager, Mark Levin, Lee Zeldin, Laura Loomer, and Chaya Raichik, who operates Libs of TikTok.
Prominent Jewish conservative publications in the United States include Jewish News Syndicate, The Jewish Press, The Jewish Voice, Jewish World Review, Mosaic, Tablet, Commentary and The Algemeiner.[citation needed]
Prominent Jewish conservatives in the United Kingdom include Daniel Finkelstein, Oliver Kamm, Stephen Pollard, and Melanie Phillips.
In the context of Classical Conservatism, prominent Jews include Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, Horace Günzburg, Isaiah Berlin, Benjamin Disraeli, Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, and Jo Benkow.
