The term Jewish right refers to Jews who identify with or support right-wing or conservative causes. The Jewish right is not a monolithic designation. Its application ranges from advocacy of religious morals to conservative politics. Jews have historically and contemporarily held largely Left-leaning views; for example, according to exit polls reported by the Pew Research Center, 78% of American Jews voted for Barack Obama during the 2008 Presidential Election.

Famous quotes containing the word jewish:
“I think the Messianic concept, which is the Jewish offering to mankind, is a great victory. What does it mean? It means that history has a sense, a meaning, a direction; it goes somewhere, and necessarily in a good direction—the Messiah.”
—Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
