A:Reliable figures for any one year are hard to come by, but Arnold Blumberg (The History of Israel) says there were 70,000 Jews in Palestine in 1914, and 600,000 by the end of 1947. For historical reasons, the figure for 1940 would be closer to the 1914 count.

Answer 2

In addition to those numbers, we know that the amount of Jews in Mandatory Palestine in 1931 was 175,000 according to Sergio della Pergola. If I had to guess what the Jewish population was in Palestine in 1940, I agree with Answer 1 in saying that it would be less than 335,000 (halfway between 70,000 and 600,000). My guess would be around 230,000-250,000.

Are Jews from a certain country?

Originally, the Jewish faith was created in what is now modern day Israel. Many Jews live in Israel today, and many people associate Jewish people with that country today. Not ALL Jews are from Israel. There are many that have ancestors who lived in ancient Israel, but many could have converted to Judaism but lived in another country. Saying that Jews are from one country is like saying that Christians come from Italy, it's just not true. Therefore, no Jews are not from a certain country.
