Since we are on the Congressional parapet counting, we might as well note:
According to the latest ARIS survey, the percent of the US population who identify as Jewish is approximately 1.2%. Meanwhile, of the 532 current serving members of the U.S. Congress, a total of 44 Congresspersons (e.g., 12.1%) self-identity as being Jewish.
Mazel Tov!
