Houston: The Bayou City, the Space City, and Apparently, a Pretty Decent Jewish Community City
Let’s get one thing straight: Houston is a melting pot of cultures, and the Jewish community is a flavorful ingredient in that mix. While I can’t give you an exact number that would make a mathematician weep with joy, I can tell you this: there’s a lot of them. Like, enough to have their own little corner of the city with delis, synagogues, and probably a secret underground bagel conspiracy.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
The Great Houston Jewish Census of 2016 (or Whenever)
The last official count I could find was from 2016, courtesy of the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston. They claimed there were around 51,000 Jews living it up in H-Town. But let's be honest, with how fast this city grows, that number is probably higher by now. It's like trying to count the number of tacos consumed on Taco Tuesday - a futile but delicious endeavor.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.

So, Why Do We Care How Many Jews Are in Houston?
Good question, hypothetical reader. Maybe you're planning a massive Hanukkah party and need to know how many latkes to make. Or perhaps you're writing a screenplay about a Jewish detective in Houston (if so, hit me up for ideas, I’ve got a few). Whatever your reason, it's a valid one.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
But let’s be real, the number itself doesn’t truly matter. What matters is the vibrant community, the rich traditions, and the delicious food. So, whether you’re Jewish, not Jewish, or somewhere in between, let's appreciate the diversity that makes Houston such a fantastic place.
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.
