The Karaite Jews of America (KJA) is a national organization, based in Daly City, California, that represents Karaite Jews across the country. It has been in existence, formally, in the United States for over forty years. Though there are Karaite communities in many major cities across the United States such as Chicago and Los Angeles, the largest concentration of Karaites is in the San Francisco Bay area, where the KJA is based.
