In what regions is Judaism currently practiced?

Answer 1

Judaism is a world wide religion. There are Jews in all continents, including predominantly Muslim countries.

The largest concentrations of Jews are found in Israel and New York, New York, USA.

Their was a time when there were very large Jewish communities in Russia and Eastern Europe. However, during WW II, the Nazis, the fascist Italians, and collaborating Vichy government of France sent 6 million to die in concentration camps. After the war, when Jews tried to return to their former homes, they met with rejection by the remaining Christians. The allies put many of these displaced persons into concentration camps while they deliberated on how to solve "the Jewish problem". Many escaped and immigrated to Palestine under British mandate since WW I. The British limited Jewish Immigration under Arab pressure. The Jewish liberation movement under various factions, waged a war against the British. Eventually the British decided to cut their losses and left Palestine.

At the same time, the UN created a Jewish state and partitioned Palestine between Arabs and Jews. This was 1948. The Jews accepted the UN partition and created the new state of Israel. The Arabs rejected the partition. In a series of aggressive wars, surrounding Arab nations attempted to destroy Israel in 1948, 1967 and 1973. As a result, Israel was victorious and claimed the majority of Palestine: from the Sinai peninisula to the border of Lebanon; from the Mediterranean coast to the Jordan River and the Golan Heights.

There has always been a Jewish presence in Palestine from the destruction of Judea by Rome in 70 CE to the present: especially in the Gallilea.

There were also concentrated communities in Ethiopia, Yemen and Armenia. But after the formation of modern Israel, many immigrated (or were expelled) to Israel.
