Jewish Population
How many Jews are there in the world? That's a difficult question to answer,
because not every country keeps track of such things, and not every Jew chooses
to admit such things, particularly in countries where Jews are persecuted.
Most estimates I have seen suggest that there are about 13-14 million Jews
in the world. The vast majority of these Jews live in either the United States
and Israel, each with approximately 5 million
Jews. There are less than 2 million Jews in Europe, 400,000 in Latin America
and 350,000 in Canada. In Africa, there are less than 100,000 Jews, about
90% of whom live in the country of South Africa. There are about 100,000
Jews in Australia and New Zealand combined. There are about 50,000 Jews in
Asia (not including Israel).
For extensive statistical information about Jews in America, see the
North American Jewish Databank.
and their 1990
National Jewish Population Survey (NJPS). A new survey was conducted
in 2000; however, the results of this survey are not currently available
online.
