History of the Jews in Uzbekistan

The history of the Jews in Uzbekistan refers to the history of two distinct communities; the more religious and traditional Bukharan Jewish community and the Ashkenazi community, most of whom who migrated during Soviet times. There were 94,900 Jews in Uzbekistan in 1989, but fewer than 10,000 remained in 2021 (around 38% of which lived in Tashkent). Most of the remaining Jews are Ashkenazi. There are 12 synagogues in Uzbekistan.
