Introduction

The Jewish population in the world is estimated to be around 14 million. It is spread throughout many countries, with the highest population concentrations in Israel and the United States. In Israel, the Jewish population makes up 74% of the total population; in the United States, Jews make up roughly 2.2% of people. Elsewhere, the numbers are much more varied: in France, Jews constitute 0.7%, while in Russia they account for 0.2%. In Canada, 1.1% of people identify as Jewish; Germany has a higher concentration at 1.4%. The largest Jewish populations outside of Israel and North America are found in Canada, France, Russia, Germany, and Australia. These figures reveal that there is significant variation from place to place when it comes to levels of religious adherence among Jews around the world – some countries have a large majority who identify as Jewish compared to others where numbers are much smaller or even nonexistent. Despite this variation, when compared to other religions, Judaism remains one of the most widely-practiced faiths with a significant presence across multiple countries and continents worldwide.
