Some 280,000 to 300,000 people of Jewish heritage live in Argentina, according to a survey. The survey was done in 2004 by an American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee study group, in association with a local sociological studies organization. The definition was wide, as the group considered all those born to a Jewish mother or father, or those with a Jewish grandparent.
