After researching facts about the various Jewish populations from around the world, I was pleasantly surprised to see that certain countries boast very healthy Jewish populations. Countries like Argentina, Brazil and South Africa rank in the top 15 Jewish Populations from around the world. Statistics like this boast well for organizations from around the world in their attempt in getting like minded Jewish singles to meet online. One such site, being www.goshalom.com has spearheaded such a call. The survey on determining accurate Jewish populations from around the globe, took goshalom.com on a journey to literally hundreds of websites in anticipation of finding reliable data to report on. One site specifically, answers.com clearly identified these populations by geographic region, continent and then sliced up by percentage of Jewish people by total population groups within that region. It is obvious to note that in Israel 80%+ would be Jewish, with the USA thereafter. Data represented by answers.com depict the following: Top 50 by population Rank Country Jews % Jewish % of Total
1 United States 5,914,682 2% 40.5%
2 Israel 5,021,506 80% 34.4%
