Anzahl der Juden nach Land und US-Bundesstaat

İran is definitely higher esfahan atleast got 50k jews

Making the cutoff at 20,000 is a clear choice and I suspect it was made in order not to show certain countries, rather than the expected >1m, >100k, >10k.

I didn’t know California had so many Jewish people. I always assumed it was only really common here in the north east.

What’s interesting about France is that when you first see its higher number of jews compared to other European countries, you’d think that it has probably done something right to its own jewish population compared to its peers

But when you read about it, it turns out that when it colonized Algeria for 132 years, it created a law called [Décret Cremieux](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cr%C3%A9mieux_Decree) in which it segregated between the Algerian jewish and Muslim/christian population, the latter being kept as second-class subjects with virtually no rights, while the former waa given automatic full French citizenship and got assimilated to the french colonial pied-noir class, so naturally, when independance came about and the pied-noirs exodus happened, the jews there were part of the exocus

Which is nearly of modern French jews are of North-African sephardic

There are around 25,000 Jews in Panama

Any map showing that Russia has less than 1 million Jews is so wrong. There are non-practicing Jews, sub-ethnical Jewish groups (Georgian jews, Dagestan jews, Karaims, etc) – they even have their own national federative region
