American Jewish community

The American Jewish community is a diverse group of individuals who identify as Jewish through religion, ethnicity, or culture living in the United States. They have a rich history in the country, contributing significantly to social, political, and cultural life. While many practice Judaism, which includes traditions, holidays, and customs, others may identify more culturally or historically. The community encompasses a range of beliefs, levels of observance, and identities, and often works together through religious institutions, organizations, and advocacy to support their interests and promote Jewish heritage and values in American society.
