This survey represents the Center\u2019s most comprehensive, in-depth study of the subject, drawing on 4,718 U.S. adults who identify as Jewish, including 3,836 Jews by religion and 882 Jews of no religion. The survey was administered online and by mail by Westat, from Nov. 19, 2019, to June 3, 2020. Respondents were drawn from a national, stratified random sampling of residential mailing addresses, which included addresses from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. No lists of common Jewish names, membership rolls of Jewish organizations or other indicators of Jewishness were used to draw the sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sample is nationally representative and was weighted to align with demographic benchmarks for the U.S. adult population from the Census Bureau as well as a set of modeled estimates for the religious and demographic composition of eligible adults within the larger U.S. adult population.<br><br>Here are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/04\/PF_05.11.21.Jewish_Survey_Topline.pdf\">the questions used<\/a>&nbsp;for the report, along with responses, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2021\/05\/11\/appendix-a-survey-methodology-4\">its methodology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-has-big-number wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The size of the adult Jewish population has been fairly stable in percentage terms, while rising in absolute numbers, roughly in line with the growth of the U.S. population.<\/strong> An estimated 2.4% of U.S. adults are Jewish. In Pew Research Center\u2019s first <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2013\/10\/01\/jewish-american-beliefs-attitudes-culture-survey\/\">major survey of U.S. Jews<\/a> in 2013, by comparison, the estimate was 2.2%. In absolute numbers, the 2020 Jewish population estimate is approximately 7.5 million, including 5.8 million adults and 1.8 million children (rounded to the closest 100,000). The 2013 estimate was 6.7 million, including 5.3 million adults and 1.3 million children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-200-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-14735\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2021\/05\/11\/10-key-findings-about-jewish-americans\/ft_2021-05-11_jewishkeyfindings_01-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e8e8e8\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e8e8e8;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/ft_2021.05.11_jewishkeyfindings_01.png?resize=400,734 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"367\" width=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/ft_2021.05.11_jewishkeyfindings_01.png?w=200\" alt=\"Jewish population in U.S.  is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse\" class=\"wp-image-14735 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-has-big-number wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Like the overall U.S. population, Jews appear to be growing more racially and ethnically diverse.<\/strong> Around nine-in-ten Jewish American adults (92%) identify as non-Hispanic White, while 8% identify with other racial or ethnic categories. Among Jews ages 18 to 29, however, the share who identify as a race or ethnicity other than non-Hispanic White rises to 15%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, 17% of Jews surveyed \u2013 including 29% of Jewish adults under the age of 30 \u2013 live in households in which at least one child or adult is Black, Hispanic, Asian, some other non-White race or ethnicity, or multiracial.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-has-big-number wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>U.S. Jews are less religious than American adults overall.<\/strong> About one-in-ten Jewish Americans (12%) say they attend religious services at least weekly in a synagogue, temple or less formal setting \u2013 such as a havurah or independent minyan \u2013 compared with about a quarter of U.S. adults who say they attend religious services weekly or more (27%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Jews are also less likely than the overall U.S. public to say religion is \u201cvery important\u201d to them (21% vs. 41%). Slightly more than half of Jews say religion is \u201cnot too\u201d or \u201cnot at all important\u201d in their lives, compared with one-third of Americans overall who say the same. There are even bigger gaps when it comes to belief in God: Around a quarter of Jews (26%) say they believe in God \u201cas described in the Bible,\u201d while 56% of all U.S. adults say this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-has-big-number wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jewish Americans are staunchly liberal and favor the Democratic Party, but Orthodox Jews are a notable exception.<\/strong> The survey, which was conducted in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, finds that 71% of Jewish adults (including 80% of Reform Jews) are Democrats or independents who lean toward the Democratic Party. But among Orthodox Jews, three-quarters say they are Republican or lean that way. And that percentage has been trending up: In 2013, 57% of Orthodox Jews were Republicans or Republican leaners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-has-big-number wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Three-quarters of American Jews think there is more anti-Semitism in the U.S. today than there was five years ago. <\/strong>Moreover, just over half (53%) say that, as a Jewish person in the U.S., they personally feel less safe than they did five years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-14759\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2021\/05\/11\/10-key-findings-about-jewish-americans\/ft_2021-05-11_jewishkeyfindings_02-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e0e8eb\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e0e8eb;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/ft_2021.05.11_jewishkeyfindings_02.png?resize=480,212 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/ft_2021.05.11_jewishkeyfindings_02.png?resize=782,346 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/ft_2021.05.11_jewishkeyfindings_02.png?resize=960,425 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/ft_2021.05.11_jewishkeyfindings_02.png?resize=1200,531 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/ft_2021.05.11_jewishkeyfindings_02.png?resize=1280,566 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"283\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/ft_2021.05.11_jewishkeyfindings_02.png?w=640\" alt=\"Slightly more than half of U.S. Jews say they feel less safe than five years ago\" class=\"wp-image-14759 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the effect on participation in Jewish activities appears to be relatively small. The vast majority of those who feel less safe say they have <em>not<\/em> hesitated to participate in Jewish observances or events because of security concerns \u2013 or that, if they did hesitate, they ultimately went ahead and participated anyway. About 10% of the Jews who feel less safe (or roughly 5% of all U.S. Jews) say they have chosen not to take part in a Jewish observance or event out of concern for their safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-has-big-number wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A large majority of U.S. Jews (82%) say caring about Israel is either \u201cessential\u201d or \u201cimportant\u201d to what being Jewish means to them.<\/strong> About six-in-ten (58%) say they are at least somewhat attached to Israel, and those who have been to Israel are especially likely to feel this way (79%). But there are sharp partisan differences in attitudes toward Israel. At the time of the survey \u2013 conducted during the final 14 months of President Donald Trump\u2019s administration \u2013 Jewish Democrats and Democratic leaners were much more likely than Jewish Republicans and GOP leaners to say the U.S. was <em>too<\/em> supportive of Israel (29% vs. 5%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, more than half of U.S. Jews also gave a negative rating to Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel\u2019s prime minister for more than a decade. Even so, when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, just over six-in-ten U.S. Jews (63%) say they think a way can be found for Israel and an independent Palestinian state to coexist peacefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-has-big-number wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Majorities of U.S. Jews engage in cultural activities like cooking Jewish food (72%), sharing holidays with non-Jewish friends (62%) and visiting historical Jewish sites (57%).<\/strong> Many also say they engage with Judaism through Jewish media by \u201coften\u201d or \u201csometimes\u201d reading Jewish literature, history or biographies (44%), watching television with Jewish or Israeli themes (43%), or reading Jewish news in print or online (42%).
