Assyrians in Israel number approximately 1000 people. They mostly live within the city of Jerusalem. Most adhere to the Syriac Orthodox Church with smaller numbers following the Assyrian Church of the East and the Chaldean Catholic Church. The Assyrian Church of the East is represented by the Assyrian Archbishop of Jerusalem while the Chaldean Catholic members have been represented since 1903 by a non-resident apostolic vicar.
