In The 1950's, a Jewish community, primarily made up of American military personnel stationed in Taiwan, was established but dwindled when the American military personnel withdrew. The current community was established in The Mid 1970's by foreign businesspeople working on the island. Nearly all the Jewish residents live in Taipei, the capital. The majority of them are dispatched by multinational corporations or international organizations for a 2 or 3 year tour of duty. Others are employed in academia and government service. More than half of the community are American citizens, a quarter are Israelis, and the rest are from various other countries.
