This article presents updates, for the end of 1995, of the Jewish population estimates for the various countries of the world. The estimates reflect a prolonged and ongoing effort to study scientifically the demography of contemporary world Jewry. Data collection and comparative research have benefited from the collaboration of scholars and institutions in many countries, including replies to direct inquiries regarding current estimates. The article utilizes the latest studies of Jewish local populations.
