Timeline • Years in Chile |
The history of the Jews in Chile dates back to the arrival of Europeans to the country.[4] Over time, Chile has received several contingents of Jewish immigrants. Currently, the Jewish community in Chile comes mainly from the migrations occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries, mostly of Ashkenazi background.
Chile is home to the 4th largest Jewish community in South America. Chile has an estimated 15,900 Jews, according to the American Jewish Yearbook 2021,[5][2][3] representing 0.1% of the total Chilean population. The total amount of Chileans with Jewish ancestry, however, is roughly 28,000 (defined as people having at least one Jewish parent or grandparent, and any spouse of such person).[5]
