Judaism is the fifth-largest religious denomination in Luxembourg, behind Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodox Christianity, and Islam. By absolute size, Luxembourg's community is one of the smallest in the European Union; relative to total population, it is the sixth largest.[2] Judaism is recognised and supported by the government as one of the major state-mandated religions (see: Religion in Luxembourg).
