Based on data from the *Jewish Virtual Library*, in 2022 there were approximately 15.25 million Jews worldwide.

The largest Jewish population is in the United States (US), with 7.3 million people, or 47.9% of the global Jewish population.

Israel is second, with a Jewish population of 7.18 million, or 47.1% of the global Jewish population.

Other countries have significantly smaller Jewish populations. Indonesia, for example, has only 100 Jews, approximately 0.0006% of the global Jewish population.

Here is a list of the 10 countries with the largest Jewish populations in 2022:

1. United States: 7.3 million
2. Israel: 7.18 million
3. France: 442,000
4. Canada: 394,000
5. United Kingdom: 292,000
6. Argentina: 173,000
7. Russia: 145,000
8. Germany: 118,200
9. Australia: 118,000
10. Brazil: 91,000

According to the report "Who Is A Jew?" on the *Jewish Virtual Library* website, "Jew" is not merely a religious identity but also a national identity inherited matrilineally.

The report states, "The original name of the people we now call Jews was Hebrew."

"It is important to note that being a Jew has nothing to do with what you believe or do. Someone born to a Jewish mother who is an atheist and has never practiced Judaism is still a Jew, even in the eyes of ultra-orthodox Jewish groups."

"In this sense, Judaism is more like a nationality than other religions, and being a Jew is like a citizenship," it continues.
