    The vast majority haven’t left for Israel tho, it’s something like 0.04% of American Jews that leave every year, or 2% across the last 50 years. US Jewish population has actually grown in size way more than its shrunk

      Huh, I had no idea it was only about 2% across the last 50 years, I would’ve thought it was much higher than that. I might be thinking of general immigration statistics and not those focused on specific groups.

        Yeah Israel’s immigrants come from a bunch of countries, American immigrants make up barely 10% of them. They get roughly just as many immigrants from France as America, and twice as many Russian Jews as American Jews every year
