'''Though figures given in the table may seem precise to many digits, they are often highly inaccurate, and can vary by significant margins from other published surveys.''' This data is intended to give rough estimates of the number of Jews in each country, more precise estimates for some countries are available above. As an example, the tables below give the Jewish population of Argentina as 195,000 Jews in Argentina, but the best survey-based sources generally estimate the number of Jews in Argentina between 185,000 and 250,000<ref>[http://www.cidcm.umd.edu/inscr/mar/data/argjew.htm Jews In Argentina]</ref>. All the numbers below are similarly estimates, so the figures in the table below should be considered in the light of these variations, and should not be viewed as exact counts. The percentage of Jewish population of each country was taken from the US State Department's ''International Religious Freedom Report 2004''<ref>US State Department's [http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/ International Religious Freedom Report 2004']</ref>, and, if not available on that site, from Jewish Population Tables<ref>[http://www.jafi.org.il/education/100/concepts/demography/demtables.html Jewish Population Tables]</ref>. The total population of each country was taken from census.gov <ref>[http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/ipc/idbrank.pl census.gov]</ref> (2005 estimates). These numbers are for [[Jew]]s as an [[ethnicity]]; many, but not all, practice the religion of [[Judaism]]. ===By country=== ''Note: The total at the end shows the entire population of the world, not just the listed countries'' {| border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px lightgray solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;"> |+ '''[[Jews]] by country''' |- bgcolor=#CCCCFF !
