Judaism began a little over 3,000 years ago, and has not ended. In spite of losing one-third of its worldwide population between 1939 and 1945, there are more Jews engaged in daily Hebrew prayer and study of Jewish history and orthodox law today than at any time in history.
Self identified adherents to Judaism are found in roughly 135 countries, and total 0.2% (two tenths of one percent) of the world's population. And since 1948, there is again a sovereign independent nation that identifies itself as a Jewish state, for the first time in almost 2,000 years.
