    Metropolitan Tel Aviv, with 2.5 million Jews, is the world's largest Jewish city. It is followed by New York, with 1.9 million, Haifa 655,000, Los Angeles 621,000, Jerusalem 570,000, and southeast Florida 514,000.

    The municipal boundaries of Tel Aviv actually have only about 500,000 Jewish residents (Jerusalem is the biggest city in Israel officially). Certainly New York is one example of a city in the diaspora with a high percentage of Jewish populations, as are a number of cities and towns in the northeast of the US. (Sharon, MA, to name one example, is about 50% Jewish.)

    Birobidzhan (Russian: ??????????; Yiddish: ????????????) is a town and the administrative center of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Russia, located on the Trans-Siberian railway and close to the Chinese border and is home of the Birobidzhan Synagogue and the Jewish religious community of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast.

    Rabbi Scheiner says there are 4,000 Jews in Birobidzhan, just over 5 percent of the town's 75,000 population.
