The report entitled The Jews of South Africa in 2019: Identity, community, society, demography was published by the Isaac and Jessie Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies at the University of Cape Town and the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR). It contains a detailed demographic assessment of the South African Jewish population and the results of the 2019 Jewish Community Survey of South Africa – the largest and most extensive study of its kind ever undertaken. The fieldwork for the survey generated a final sample of 4,193 individuals (aged 18 and over) living in 2,402 unique households. Accounting for everyone living within those households, the report draws on data on 5,287 individuals.
