An analysis of the trends by population group and religion reveals that this new national trend (of an increase in TFR) was driven by a divergence in the fertility patterns of Jewish women alone. From January to May 2024, the fertility rate among Jewish women climbed back to 3.10 children per woman. In contrast, among all other religious groups, the downward trend in fertility continued during these months, falling to 2.68, 1.62, 1.64, and 1.24 children per woman for Muslim, Christian, Druze, and “Other” (without religious classification) women, respectively.
