Best Answer

The population of Jews in America is about 5,500,000. This is a small percentage of the total United States population (<2% US population). There are expanded estimates that say that there are an additional 2,000,000 or so Jews who do not identify as Jews on the US Census, but the accuracy of these claims is debated.
