Why have so many American Jews historically been wary of firearms? How did the trauma of the Holocaust shape modern Jewish attitudes toward guns—and is that finally changing?

• The surge in Jewish gun ownership after October 7

• Israel’s restrictive gun laws and what they mean for Jewish security

• The role of education in changing minds on gun safety

• Divisions within the conservative movement over Second Amendment rights
