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]
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 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.
