I'm curious to know what percentage of Congress is Jewish.  Separate
percentages of both Senate and House would be appreciated as well, if
possible.

Thanks.

Dear esarkissian,

Of the 435 Members of the House of Representatives, 26 are Jewish.
This equals a percentage of 5.97701%.

Of the 100 Senators, 11 are Jewish. This equals a percentage of 11%.

The 108th Congress consists of a total of 535 Members, of which 37 are
Jewish. This equals a percentage of 6.9158846%.
