Page "Haredi Judaism" Paragraph 34

The Haredi population in the UK was estimated at 27, 000 in 1998, out of 200, 000 UK observant Jews.

However, a 2007 study published by the University of Manchester asserted that three out of every four British Jewish births are Haredi, who now account for 45, 500 out of around 275, 000 Jews in the UK, or 17 %.

A new joint study of the Jewish Policy Research and the Board of Deputies in 2010 established that there was 9049 Haredi households in the UK.

This would account for a population of nearly 53, 400 or 20 % of the UK community.

( 9, 049 households * 5. 9 average Haredi household ) Within the next three decades, the Haredi community is predicted ( by the Board of Deputies ) to be the largest Jewish group in the UK: in comparison with the national average of 2. 4 children per family, Haredi families have an average of 5. 9 children, and as of 2006 membership of Haredi synagogues had doubled since 1990.
