"ילדים הם שמחה" (yeldim hem simcha). The Hebrew phrase for "children are a joy" is "ילדים הם שמחה" (yeldim hem simcha). "ילדים" (yeldim) means "children", and "שמחה" (simcha) means "joy" or "gladness". TOP: An ultraorthodox family. Bottom: An Amish Family. Notice the similarities – they are a large nuclear family |
From September 2023 to September 2024, about 183,000 babies were born in Israel, meaning that more than 400 babies were born per day. There was a similar case in 2022, in its annual Amish population study, the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College estimates that 1,450 Amish babies were born in Lancaster County last year. Only 145 Amish of all ages died. That population increase of 1,305 brought the total number of Amish living here to 44,315. There were more Amish births than deaths in that state.
I feel that ultra-orthodox Jews and the Anabaptist Trio have one thing in common: they all have large families. They all follow the Four Core Values: Faith, Family, Community and Simple Living. That is why they are growing in numbers and will survive the World’s population decline.

Fertility and nuptiality of Ultra-Orthodox Jews in the United States
January 15, 2024 Lyman Stone
Ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities are known to have high fertility, but details are difficult to investigate because questions about religion and fertility are rarely asked together in surveys. Lyman Stone’s ingenious exploitation of ACS (American Community Survey) data sheds some light on the issue.
Around the word today, about 14% of Jewish people are Ultra-Orthodox, a figure projected to rise to 23% by 2040 thanks to high birth rates among Ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities (Staetsky 2022). This continues a pattern of strong demographic growth which has been ongoing for decades, as fertility rates among other Jews have fallen to around 1-3 children per woman. Prior studies in the United Kingdom and Israel suggest that Ultra-Orthodox Jewish women in those countries have 6 to 7 children on average, a figure similar to that derived from two surveys with small Ultra-Orthodox Jewish samples in the United States (Pew 2013, Staetsky and Boyd 2015, Pew 2020, Hleihel 2020). However, it has been difficult for researchers to get a detailed understanding of exactly how fertility operates among Ultra-Orthodox Jews because they are rarely represented in conventional surveys due to their small population size. The prior studies mentioned above are mostly based on small samples from larger surveys on other topics collected somewhat incidentally, or periodic data from full censuses. As many government surveys don’t ask about religion, Ultra-Orthodox Jews are not identifiable, even in surveys where Jewish communities may be included. This poses a challenge: a very rapidly growing, high-fertility group (and one subjected to high levels of discriminatory violence) is of obvious interest to policymakers and researchers, and yet very hard to study due to data constraints. In particular, many high-fertility communities are characterized by high rates of child marriage, suppression of women’s access to contraceptives, and high rates of teen and undesired childbearing.

What ACS data can reveal about Ultra-Orthodox Jewish fertility in the US
To overcome the challenge of limited data and better understand the exact dynamics of Ultra-Orthodox Jewish fertility, in a recent study (Stone 2023) I leveraged one particular quirk in American data collection: the American Community Survey, which surveys millions of Americans every year and includes questions about childbearing, includes a question about language spoken at home. Today, almost all reproductive-age Yiddish-speakers in the United States are Ultra-Orthodox Jews (though some Ultra-Orthodox Jews do not speak Yiddish at home), meaning that Ultra-Orthodox Jews can be studied obliquely by analyzing the behaviors of people who speak Yiddish at home.
Using this data, I find several striking facts. First, Yiddish-speakers in the United States averaged a total fertility rate of around 6.6 children per woman over the period 2000-2021. This figure, slightly higher in 2010-2021 than in 2000-2009, suggest that Ultra-Orthodox Jews have avoided the fertility decline observed in most populations in the industrialized world. In contrast, Hebrew-speakers in the United States (largely Israeli immigrants and dual citizens) had total fertility rates of around 3-4 in the early 2000s, falling to around 2-3 in the latest decade (though still higher than the ~1.7 observed for all Americans).
Where do these high birth rates come from? They are not a product of teen pregnancy: teen birth rates are actually lower among Ultra-Orthodox Jews than Americans more generally (Figure 1). Ultra-Orthodox fertility rates are very low before adulthood, then skyrocket in early adulthood and remain elevated throughout the reproductive life course, but especially in the 20s and early 30s. At age 45-49, Ultra-Orthodox Jewish women report fertility rates similar to the general American population an entire decade younger.
Thus, the first possible assumption about Ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities – that they achieve high fertility partly through very early childbearing before adulthood – turns out to be completely wrong. Ultra-Orthodox mothers are more likely to be adults than American mothers generally.

The family that works together, eats together, and prays together, stays together. – Amish Proverb Georgia’s landscape, steeped in history and cultural richness, once attracted Amish settlers seeking a peaceful life. While attempts were made to establish communities in the early 1900s, unlike other regions, these settlements haven’t flourished long-term. However, the story of the Amish in Georgia is a captivating one.

Marriage
In many high-fertility populations, marriage comes very early, for young girls in particular. Is this the case for Ultra-Orthodox Jews?
The answer, as shown in Figure 2, is no. Rates of marriage before 20 are about the same for Yiddish speakers as for American women generally (and in single-year-of-age data, rates are actually appreciably lower at ages 15-17, then rise at 18 and especially at age 19). Ultra-Orthodox fertility is not fueled by child brides, but rather by higher rates of adult marriage.
Probing deeper, I find that Ultra-Orthodox Jewish couples also tend to have fairly age-egalitarian marriages. Whereas in some traditional high fertility societies grooms are much older than brides, among Ultra-Orthodox Jews marrying for the first time in my sample, grooms averaged 22.2 years old, and brides 21.0, a gap of 1.2 years. By comparison, for Americans generally, grooms were 30.1 years old and brides 28.5, a gap of 1.6 years. In general, Ultra-Orthodox Jews may actually have fewer age-unequal marriages than other populations in the United States.
Finally, while my data do not include a variable for contraception, I find suggestive evidence that Ultra-Orthodox women have access to it and do use it. Comparing estimates for married Ultra-Orthodox Jewish women to three historic “natural fertility” populations (i.e. without any form of birth control), at age 15-19, the birth rates of Ultra-Orthodox wives are 74% lower. At 25-29 they are 32% lower, at 35-39, 37% lower, and at 40-44, 49% lower. Thus, Ultra-Orthodox wives have much lower fertility than observed in historic “natural fertility” populations, especially for the few very young brides in the sample and for older wives. Thus, even though Ultra-Orthodox wives have about twice the age-specific fertility rates as American wives generally in the available data, their lower fertility rates than natural fertility populations are strongly suggestive of intentional fertility control. Correspondingly, prior research has found significant contraceptive usage in small samples of Ultra-Orthodox Jewish women (Okun 2000, Sabiner et al 2020); and, notably, various schools of Jewish religious thought permit a range of contraceptive and abortive practices in certain circumstances.

Concluding remarks
In sum, I find that Ultra-Orthodox Jews in America, proxied through the use of the Yiddish language, have similar birth rates to Ultra-Orthodox Jews in other contexts: around 6 to 7 children per woman. These high birth rates are entirely driven by high rates of adult marriage and adult marital fertility; teen fertility and nonmarital births are far less common among Ultra-Orthodox Jews than among Americans as a whole. The specific age pattern of marital fertility suggests that Ultra-Orthodox Jewish women are able to control their fertility. High fertility among Ultra-Orthodox Jewish women is fundamentally dissimilar from that of many other high fertility populations, and may be a product of conscious choice and even a kind of family planning, but for a large, rather than small, family. Correspondingly, Ultra-Orthodox Jewish fertility is relatively free of some of the major indicators of risky fertility behavior, and should probably not be a subject of particular public health concern.

Israel’s population tops 10 million for 1st time, on eve of 77th Independence Day
Central Bureau of Statistics says nearly 10.1 million people live in Israel — 12 times as many as in 1948 — including about 45% of world’s Jews
By ToI Staff 29 April 2025, 3:44 pm
In an annual report ahead of Independence Day, the Central Bureau of Statistics said Tuesday that Israel’s population stood at almost 10.1 million people, marking a twelvefold increase since the country was founded in 1948.
The figure, which represents an increase of some 135,000, or 1.4 percent over the previous year, includes roughly 7.7 million people, or 77.6%, who are registered as Jewish or “other” — a category that was previously counted separately. This category includes non-Arab Christians and people with no ethnicity listed, most of whom are entitled to live in Israel because of a Jewish grandparent or Israeli spouse, the CBS said.
Some 2.1 million people living in Israel, or 20.9%, are Muslim, Christian or Druze Arabs, the CBS said. Another 250,000 people, or about 2.5%, belong to neither category, and include international students, foreign workers and undocumented immigrants, the agency reported.

Over the past year, according to the report, some 174,000 babies were born in Israel, 28,000 people immigrated to the country and 50,000 Israelis died. Israel has a relatively young population, 27% of which is under the age of 18 compared with 13% aged at least 65, the CBS said.
Israel’s population grew rapidly in comparison with the world population, which grew by some 0.9% to just over 8 billion in 2023, the last year for which the World Bank has made data available. However, Israel’s population growth this year was slightly lower than it was last year, when the CBS reported that the population had grown about 1.9% to 9.9 million people.
Part of the decline could be attributed to the 24% decrease in immigration to Israel over the past year, as recorded in a pre-Independence Day report by the Aliyah and Integration Ministry on Monday.

11 And she vowed a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head.” – I Samuel 1:11 (ESV) Our home joys are the most delightful earth affords, and the joy of parents in their children is the most holy joy of humanity. - Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi An Evangelical Reorientation: The Contribution of Beachy Amish-Mennonite Mothers Research Points · When an ethnic sectarian group experiences theological shifts, such as the Beachy Amish-Mennonite gravitation toward evangelical Christianity, gender roles and women’s responsibilities are reorganized in consequential ways. · Both the Old Amish and Beachy Amish-Mennonite wife/mother role is responsible for organizing the domestic environment and addressing family members’ physical and emotional needs. · While domestic success reflects religious devotion, rapid religious/social changes in Beachy churches have strained the relationship between home and church. The church is more likely seen as competing with the family for time and energy rather than integrating with it, as is more common among Old Amish. · Given rapid church changes, Beachy mothers may be socializing children toward an uncertain future rather than mere reproduction of the present church’s practice and organization, as more likely with Old Amish. This severs childrearing from church integration, disrupting intergenerational continuity. · Compared to the patriarchal organization of Old Amish, Beachys’ evangelicalism has expanded women’s formal religious responsibilities (e.g. teaching Sunday School) but also introduced more individualism, fragmenting community identity and heightening women’s isolation from role- based support networks. · Some women seek to slow the pace of change and maintain community-based stability, while others accept greater individual autonomy.

Meanwhile, some 56,000 Israeli citizens were living abroad, the CBS said. The agency said the figure had decreased but did not say by how much.
In its report Tuesday, the CBS said about 3.5 million people have immigrated to Israel since 1948, 47.6% of whom came starting in 1990, after Soviet Jews were allowed to emigrate en masse. As of the end of 2023, the CBS said, about 45% of world Jewry lived in Israel, and 80% of Jewish Israelis had been born in the country.
Israel, which observes national holidays based on the Jewish calendar, is set to begin its 77th Independence Day celebrations on Wednesday night. Independence Day is preceded by Memorial Day, which commemorates fallen soldiers and victims of terror attacks. Memorial Day commemorations will begin with a siren and a national moment of silence at 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Jews Will Replace You ... But Why?
Based Camp with Simone & Malcolm Collins
Jul 21, 2025 Based Camp
In this episode, we discuss the unique phenomenon of high Jewish fertility rates amid urban settings, contrasting it with the global trend of prosperity-induced demographic collapse. We explore historical and cultural reasons behind Jewish resistance to declining birth rates, and investigate the future implications of Jewish population dynamics on global geopolitics. The conversation dives into the role of Jewish culture and how urban monocultural values impact other groups. We also touch on ethical considerations, cultural evolution, and differing societal norms across various populations. The discussion delves into historical contexts, the importance of cultural adaptability, and the future of urban and rural specialization.

The Hebrew phrase for "children are a joy" is "ילדים הם שמחה" (yeldim hem simcha). "ילדים" (yeldim) means "children", and "שמחה" (simcha) means "joy" or "gladness". Israel is the only OECD countries that have the highest fertility rate of 2.91 per woman.
From September 2023 to September 2024, about 183,000 babies were born in Israel, meaning that more than 400 babies were born per day. There was a similar case in 2022, in its annual Amish population study, the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College estimates that 1,450 Amish babies were born in Lancaster County last year. Only 145 Amish of all ages died. That population increase of 1,305 brought the total number of Amish living here to 44,315. There were more Amish births than deaths in that state.
