Jewish immigrants in the United States mainly consist of Ashkenazi, meaning the race of Jews that mainly owe their origins to Germany and the eastern parts of Europe.

There were three major immigrations of Jews to the US in the records of history, and this article will consider all three of them namely the Sephardic, German and Eastern European.
