According to a recent census, around 2,100 Jews live in Colombia, most of whom are concentrated in the capital, Bogota. Smaller communities exist in Cali, Barranquilla, and Medellin. Jews have lived in modern-day Colombia since the Spanish period, but it wasn't until the end of the 18th century that Judaism was practiced openly. It is a primarily secular community but there is little intermarriage.
The community is represented by the Confederación de Comunidades Judías de Colombia (CCJC) - The Colombian affiliate of the World Jewish Congress.
