For most of the past 75 years, the diaspora tended to be the larger voice as it helped and supported Israel in its journey from establishment to fully fledged country. More than that, it has already started to reflect a change in the power relations between Israel and the diaspora. For instance, some kinds of Jewish law are considered to be in effect when the majority of Jews live in the land.
This heralds a new era in Jewish-Israel relations. Such a situation hasn’t existed since before the destruction of the first Temple. As this demographic trend continues in Israel’s 75th year, it will soon have more Jews than the rest of the world combined.
Israel became the country with the world’s largest Jewish population, taking over from the United States. A few years ago, an important shift occurred in the distribution of world Jewry.
