An array of Jewish communities were established by Jewish settlers in various places around the Old World, often at great distances from one another resulting in practical, sometimes permanent, isolation from other Jewish communities. During the millennia of the Jewish diaspora the communities would evolve under the influence of their local environments; political, cultural, natural and populational. Today, manifestation of these differences among the Jewish ethnic division can be observed in Jewish cultural expressions of each community, Jewish linguistic diversity, and admixture among Jewish populations.

The pervasiveness of secularism among America's Jews is reflected in patterns of Jewish affiliation as well. About half of all adults who are Jewish by religion and/or parentage or upbringing do not belong to either a synagogue or any other Jewish community organization. While the majority do identify with one or another branch of Judaism: 30% as Reform, 24% as Conservative, 8% as Orthodox, 1% as Reconstructionist and 1% as Secular Humanist -- 6% use other self-generated labels to describe their Jewishness such as "liberal," "progressive," "Zionist," "non-Orthodox," "non-denominational," "atheist" and the like -- and 20% declined to identify with any label or branch of Judaism.
