  1. And I’m sure they’re including those “Jews” whose father is Jewish but not the mother, and those with reform and conservative conversions too.

  2. The jewish population is about 13 million and shrinking because most Jews are not orthodox and they are either intermarrying,not marrying or having very few children. Israel is counting people as Jews who are about as jewish as my pet turtle. They also forgot to count the Jews living in Iran that number between 10 and 15 thousand. France has less than half million as many have left. American Jews shrink every year by a hundred thousand. The only ones growing fast is the chareidim worldwide.

  3. That’s because of assimilation and nebach, older singles never getting married and therefore not having children r”l.
