Numbers: Useful

In America:


Outside America (from an Orthodox site):

Worldwide Jewish population: 13.3 million.
Worldwide Orthodox population: about 1.8 million. (About one seventh.)

What about Israel, bastion of the Orthodox status-quo?

Israeli Jewish population. about 5 million.
Israeli Orthodox population: 1 million.

One seventh and one fifth. Not a third, not a half. Not even close. But you'd never know it from reading the frum blogs, would you?

Just saying.
