History of the Jews in Vietnam

The history of the Jews in Vietnam begins in the 19th century. Jews are a minor ethno-religious group in Vietnam, consisting of only about 300 people as of 2007.[1] Although Jews have been present in Vietnam and Judaism has been practiced since the late 19th century, most adherents have been, and remain today, expatriates, with few to no native Vietnamese converts.[2]
