(Jerusalem Post) Douglas Altabef - Israel is the only Western country to boast an above-replacement birthrate, and it's not just above replacement; it's way above. Replacement is deemed to be 2.1 births per woman. Israel's Jewish birthrate hovers just above 3 per woman. No one blinks an eye when people say they have four kids, and even five sounds normative. While in the U.S., non-religious Jews are having children at the same below-replacement levels as their neighbors, in Israel, even less observant Jews are having a multitude of kids. Births rose by 5% in war-torn 2024 over 2023. Abortions are declining and single people and gay couples strive as well to have children. What is it that Israelis, across the board, see in having and raising children that others don't? To have children is to welcome the future. We believe that with all its problems, life is worth sustaining and replicating.2025-04-03 00:00:00Full Article
