How many Sephardi Jews are there in Israel?

In: Judaism, Israel, Population [Edit categories]

Answer:

If by Sephardi Jews you mean Spanish Jews displaced following the Spanish inquisition, they and their descendents constitute somewhat less than 1,500,000 which is 25% of the Jewish population in Israel. But in the wider secular public the divisions run along continental lines with European Jews constituting the largest group at somewhat over 50% and North African Jews and those from the rest of the Middle East and comprising the other half.
