Jews in Britain are experiencing a period of unprecedented demographic change. In 2006 recorded Jewish births outnumbered deaths for the first time since records began. Whilst one part of the community is slowly contracting, another part is rapidly expanding. What are the figures? Can we expect these trends to continue, and if so for how long? And what are the implications for the future religious, social and economic makeup of the community?
