Source for 2300 estimate?

[edit]

At time of me writing this, the article states in its lead: "Currently, the Jewish population is estimated at around 2,700 out of the total Suriname population of 560,000." What's the source for this? According to the most recent Surinamese census, 181 people indicated their religion as "Judaism" (hence that is also the number I've used in the dutch version of this article). Of course that doesn't mean there can't be more Jews -- census taking is tricky -- but I just can't find the source of this 2,700 number. Amphicoelias (talk) 21:59, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I looked in our Religion in Suriname article and used its census link. I can't read it, but "Joden" is easily found. I guess the 2700 figure came from some unidentified 20th century book. Jim.henderson (talk) 19:35, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
