(RNS) As a group, Jewish Latinos don’t get much attention—either from Jewish or Latino-Latina communities in the U.S.

The first detailed survey of Americans who are both Latino or Latina and Jewish aims to shed light on this minority within a minority, who number more than 200,000 people. Among the conclusions of the recently released study: Latino and Latina Jewish people are proud of their dual identities, but also distinct within the larger American Jewish and Latino-Latina American population.
