'Obviously, the Jewish community didn't shrink by more than half in the past five years'- Shimon Fogel, CEO, Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs. "On the census question of ethnicity, this seems to be where the 2016 survey falls short." "Obviously, the Jewish community didn't shrink by more than half in the past five years," said Fogel. Canada's Jewish community appears to have seen its most dramatic decline in decades, according to newly released 2016 census data. "The responses to the question on ethnicity are correct and reflect what respondents provided on the 2016 census."
