An Israeli demographics expert disagrees with a Pew Research Center survey published in May, which estimated a 12% increase of 800,000 people in the US Jewish population since 2013 to 7.5 million in 2020.
According to Sergio Della Pergola, a leading authority on Jewish demography, two-thirds of the increase came from Americans who identify as “partly Jewish” and would normally be excluded from population estimates.
He figures that the Jewish population was only six million in 2020, an increase of only 5.2% since 2013.
