While the number of Jews continues to grow in Israel, the total number of Jews worldwide is in decline.
YNet reported:

Israel’s population has crossed the eight million threshold over Passover, the Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported Thursday. With six million Jews, Israel has become the world’s largest Jewish center.

The remainder of the population is comprised of 1.6 million Arabs, 350,000 non-Arab Christians and others, mostly olim or relatives of olim from the former USSR, whose religion is not listed in the Interior Ministry’s census.

For the first time, Israel has become the world’s largest center of Jewry, with the United States at second place with 5.5 million Jews – two million in New York City alone.

Well behind at third place is France with 500,000 Jews, most of them in Paris. Canada is next in line, with 380,000 Jews, most of them residing in Toronto.

Britain numbers 290,000 in the Jewish community, mostly in the capital, London…

…”In the world today there are 13,800,000 Jews,” said Professor Sergio Della Pergola, an expert on Jewish demography from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, who collected the data.

“Israel has indeed experienced a growth in the number of Jews last year, but world Jewry outside Israel did not fare so well.

“On the contrary, world Jewry has experienced negative growth,” he said.
