The 1950s Jewish community primarily was American military personnel stationed in Taiwan. The current community dates from the mid-1970s. Nearly all the less than 50 Jewish families live in Taipei and most work on a short-term basis for multinational corporations or international organizations. Some work in academia or government service. Most are either Americans or Israelis.
Regular Shabbat services are held at a hotel in Taipei. The Taiwan Jewish Community also holds occasional social events. Israel maintains an economic and trade office in Taipei.
