Almost 1.4 million people in the Greater New York Area identified as Jewish in 2023, according to a study by UJA-Federation of New York.
The Jewish Community Study of New York 2023 covers the five boroughs of New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island), as well as Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties.
UJA said the eight-county New York area continues to be home to the greatest concentration of Jews in the United States, adding that the area has experienced “broad stability” in the number of Jewish adults and children for the past three decades.
Some 20 per cent of New York Jews identified with the Reform movement, 19 per cent said that they were Orthodox, 15 per cent considered themselves Conservative Jews, and 47 per cent did not identify with any Jewish religious denomination.
