This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Rjwilmsi (talk | contribs) at 12:21, 30 November 2016 (→‎Jewish population by metropolitan areas: move ISBN out of external link using AWB (12122)). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This article provides partial lists of the Jewish population in some metropolitan area worldwide, Jewish population outside Israel per cities in percentages, and Jewish population including Israel by number. Many cities with large Jewish populations, including Paris, London, and Moscow, are missing from the list due to a lack of census figures or other sources of verifiable information.
