The history of Jews in New Jersey started with the arrival of Dutch and English traders and settlers in the late 1600s.[1][2] According to the Berman Jewish DataBank's 2019 survey, New Jersey is the state with the fourth-highest total population of Jews at 545,450 and is also the state with the third highest percent of Jews at 6.1%. This means that New Jersey is home to 7.8% of the American Jewish population.[3]
