Forgot to put this in my previous post
The entire world Jewish population is estimated at only slightly more than 13 million.
There are only two countries in the world with more than 1 million Jewish residents - Israel and the USA. The third largest is France with less than 1/2 million Jews.
It is now estimated there are more Jews residing in the USA than in Israel.
That would make the USA Jewish population the largest in the world.
According to current estimates there are about 5,978,600 Jews in Israel.
That number is expected to grow to 6,000,000 by the end of 2012.
The current estimate of the Jewish population in the USA is about 6,588,000.
USA Today and others report that the USA Jewish population is dropping but other studies do not agree with that assessment.
It is dropping. Jewish American women have the lowest birthrates of any American female demographic. It’s the Sex & The City syndrome. They’re all career women who think no man is good enough for them.
