Sephardic & Mizrahi Jews in the United States:

Identities, Experiences, and Communities

On behalf of JIMENA: Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa, we are proud to release the first-ever National Demographic Study of Sephardic & Mizrahi Jews in the United States. Grounded in hundreds of interviews, community roundtables, and rigorous data analysis, the study centers on the Syrian Jewish community in Brooklyn, Persian Jews in Los Angeles, Bukharian Jews in Queens, Latin Sephardic Jews in South Florida, and many others with roots across the Middle East and North Africa.

We invite scholars, educators, funders, and community members alike to delve into the findings and join us in building a Jewish future that fully embraces its Sephardic and Mizrahi heritage.

Explore national population estimates, age distribution, migration patterns, and denominational affiliations.

Discover how culture, language, memory, and ritual shape identity across generations—from recent immigrants to multigenerational American families.

Act on our Recommendations for Change—clear next steps for educators, philanthropists, policymakers, and community leaders committed to genuine inclusion.
