Global Jewish Population Reaches 15.8 Million, Still Below Pre-Holocaust Levels
The global Jewish population is currently estimated at 15.8 million, according to new data from Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics. This figure remains below the pre-World War II population of 16.6 million. Approximately 7.2 million Jews reside in Israel, and 6.3 million live in the United States, together accounting for 85% of the global Jewish population. The data also highlights a decline in Jewish populations in countries like France and Russia, while Canada has seen an increase despite rising antisemitic incidents. The report was released ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day, underscoring the enduring impact of the Holocaust on Jewish demographics.
