A lot of history has happened in the country of Israel such as it being the birthplace of the Jewish religion. The two biggest countries that have a Jewish population are in the United States and Israel. The Jewish population's home country is Israel. Israel is a very small country and it's  in the Middle East. Israel is also by the end of the Eastern part of the Mediterranean sea.

The United States has had the Jewish culture immigrating since the 19th century. The Jewish culture has immigrated to the bigger areas of the United States including, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and more. Their biggest place where they have migrated is New York City.In Israel the population is about 9.2 million and in the United States it is about 7.4 million. The Jewish population keeps increasing each year because of the Haredim. Haredim is a type of Jewish culture; They are more of a stricter type of culture. Jewish citizens have all sorts of different languages. Some that we have probably heard of are French, Spanish, Russian, and English. The most spoken language in Israel is Modern Hebrew. Some of the other Jewish populations speak Arabic and English.  Around 3,018 years ago, King Daivd ruled the Jewish population and culture. His son Solomon also helped him and he built the first holy temple, which became a big place for the Jewish culture to go and worship their king or their god. In time the holy temple got destroyed by the Romans. Many years later when the Holocaust was happening, many Jews returned to their homeland. They created a movement for a creation for a Jewish’s nation state. It was created in the 19th century. In 1948 it became a nation state.  Although Israel has had a lot of history it never stopped being a good country.
