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 will nowadays find few American conservatives actually espousing to be Neoconservative. Many Neoconservatives were Jews 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 Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager.
