How many Senators in the United States Senate are Jews?

They only make up 2-3% of the population in the US, but I believe there are at least a dozen Jewish Senators...why is that?

Answer:
it is clear. jews usually are very rich and where money talks even power is based on money. jews are owner of many of american newspapers and magazines and tv ...
Because we rule the world, bwa ha ha haaaa!
Because someone's religion or ethnicity is not a bar to political office.
Surely it does not matter what religion they are so long as they can do the job properly. Wake up and smell the coffee !!!!!!
The majority although some of them allegedly are Christians.
Who cares and why? Jews are people just like you and I. They just have some different beliefs. Because they might not agree with you is no answer. Others don't believe as you do either.
There are 12 Jewish United states Senators including Senators Levin , Specter , Kohl, Lieberman, Feinstein , Boxer, Feingold, Wyden,Schumer, Coleman, Cardin and Sanders.

I'm not sure why religion matters as to anyone holding public office.I don't even consider a persons religion when deciding who gets my vote.I only care if he/she thinks along the same lines as I do and will he stand up strong for America and preservation of the American way of life.
Why because those of us that don't agree with you get a thumbs down.That the height of closed mindedness.Thanks you affirmed my first impression of your post.
Because that is the way the ball bounces. Why do you ask? What is your point?
because Jews have always been achievers, its a cultural norm, and believe in helping people, including serving in political office. you can explain the dearth of black senators because there have been additional institutional barriers and a history of disenfranchisement to contend with.
same with the disparity in representation of women in all branches of government. remember women could not vote until the 20th century.
Wondering why this is in the Immigration area - but that aside - what difference does it make as long as the person is representing the people that elected them?

The answer to your question is simple - they were elected.
