Jewish in Europe

composed of:

Ashkenazi Jews (about 1.4 million, mainly in France, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Hungary and Belgium)
Sephardi Jews (about 400,000; mainly in Spain, Portugal, France, Morocco, Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, and Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Mizrahi Jews (some 300,000; mainly in France, Spain, Georgia, the United Kingdom and Azerbaijan)
Turkish Jews (some 250,000; also known as Djudios Turkos, with minorities of roughly 20,000 Selaniklis and 25,000 Sephardics)
Italian Jews (about 45,000; mostly Italian)
Romaniotes (about 6,000; mostly Greek)
Georgian Jews (some 8,500 - mostly in Georgia, Russia, Azerbaijan and Belgium)
Crimean Karaites (about 1,500 - mainly in Ukraine, Lithuania and Poland)
Krymchaks (Jews of Turkic descent in Crimea) (about 2,000 - mainly in Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Russia)
Mountain Jews (Jews of the Caucasus mainly in Azerbaijan)

This table gives figures and then distributes each figure to include Jewish populations in Morocco, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Russia, the Ukraine etc. Apart from considering those non-European countries as European, the material for these statistics, which should be readjusted for those Jews who form part of the European countries named. The passage therefore requires substantial work, excisions etc., until this mess is sorted out.Nishidani (talk) 15:05, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Better geographical balance needed

The article has a disproportionate amount of material on Poland and practically nothing on other centers of Jewish life in Europe. I suggest that experts on Poland trim that portion of the article and direct readers to the full article on Polish Jews. I will add text on Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. Amsterdam was called the "Dutch Jerusalem". The are multiple Wiki articles entitled "History of the Jews in [fill in the blank]". Editors can draw on those to bring geographical balance to this article.Amuseclio (talk) 17:06, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Amuseclio[reply]
