The Time Almanac 2009 states (p.571): "Jews have world-wide representation, with the greatest concentration in North America and the Middle East". This statement reflects Jewish populations in the US, Canada and Israel.

It then lists the following figures for Jews, as of mid-2008: Africa 130,000

Asia (mostly Israel) 5,800,000

Europe 1,900,000

Latin America 1,000,000

Northern America 6,200,000

(including USA: 5.7 million in 2005)

Oceania 108,000

Worldwide 15,100,000 or approximately 0.2 percent of world population. (1 fiftieth of 1 percent)

Answer 2

As of 2018, Israel has the largest Jewish population with over 6,484,000 Jews. This is about 45% of the world's Jewish population.

Claims that the US has a higher Jewish population are based upon the inclusion of two million people who are non-Jews according to Jewish law.
