the gomez mill house, dibangun pada tahun 1714 dekat marlboro, new york oleh yahudi sefardim dari portugal.
sejarah yahudi di amerika serikat telah menjadi bagian dari sejarah nasional amerika sejak zaman kolonial.
sampai tahun 1830-an komunitas yahudi di charleston, south carolina adalah yang paling padat penduduknya di amerika utara.
dengan adanya imigrasi besar-besaran orang yahudi dari masyarakat diaspora di jerman pada abad ke-19, mereka menempatkan diri sendiri di banyak kota-kota kecil dan kota-kota lainnya.
tahun 1880-1914 imigran yahudi ashkenazi mulai datang ke kota new york. pengungsi lain berasal dari masyarakat diaspora di eropa setelah perang dunia ii dan, setelah tahun 1970, dari uni soviet.
pada tahun 1940, orang-orang yahudi berjumlah 3,7% dari populasi nasional amerika serikat.
sekarang, sekitar 5 juta penduduk atau di bawah 2% dari total penduduk nasional.
jumlah ini menyusut akibat ukuran keluarga kecil dan pernikahan antaragama mengakibatkan ketidak patuhan pada ajaran agama yahudi.
pusat-pusat populasi terbesar adalah wilayah metropolitan new york (2,1 juta pada tahun 2000), los angeles (668.000), miami (331.000), philadelphia (285.000), chicago (265.000) dan boston (254.000).sarna (2004) 356-60
populasi yahudi as adalah produk dari gelombang imigrasi, terutama dari masyarakat diaspora di eropa.
imigrasi ini awalnya terinspirasi oleh daya tarik kesempatan sosial dan kewirausahaan amerika, dan kemudian oleh perlindungan dari bahaya anti-semitisme eropa yang waktu itu sedang berlangsung.
beberapa komunitas pernah kembali ke eropa, meskipun pendukung berkomitmen zionisme lebih memilih untuk pindah (melakukan aliyah) ke israel.hasia diner, the jews of the united states (2004)
pada tingkat teologis, yahudi amerika dibagi menjadi beberapa denominasi yahudi.
yang paling besar adalah "yudaisme reformasi", "yudaisme konservatif" dan "yudaisme ortodoks".
namun, sekitar 25% dari yahudi amerika yang tidak terafiliasi dengan denominasi apapun.national jewish population survey 2000-2001, yudaisme konservatif asalnya muncul di amerika sedangkan yudaisme reformasi pertama-tama dimulai di jerman dan kemudian dipopulerkan oleh orang-orang yahudi amerika.
