# Calculate the Size of the U.S. Jewish Population

A [major new Pew Research Center survey](https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2013/10/01/jewish-american-beliefs-attitudes-culture-survey) illuminates the many different ways in which Americans may self-identify as Jewish or partially Jewish. The survey provides a sense of how the size of the population varies depending on [one’s definition of who is a Jew](https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2013/10/01/sidebar-who-is-a-jew/).

Use the checkboxes below to calculate the size of the U.S. Jewish population based on different definitions of what it means to be Jewish.
