Reply #89: World Jewry [View All]

[Muddleoftheroad]

Israel's Jewish population at the end of 1996 was 4,567,700, or 81 percent (802.9 per 1,000) of its total population. This represents an increase of 87,900 over the previous year (2 percent)--some 34,000 being the net gain from immigration, the balance resulting from natural increase. In contrast, the Diaspora Jewish population declined by 50,900, or .6 percent.

Over 95 percent of the world's Jews reside in 15 countries: United States, 5,700,000; Israel, 4,567,700; France, 524,000; Canada, 362,000; Russia, 340,000; United Kingdom, 291,000; Argentina, 205,000; Ukraine, 155,000; Brazil, 100,000; South Africa, 95,000; Australia, 94,000; Germany, 70,000; Hungary, 53,500; Mexico, 40,700; and Belgium, 31,700.
