Muslim fertility fell from 4.74 children per woman in 2000 to 2.76 in 2025. Jewish fertility rose from 2.66 to 3.08. The two lines crossed around 2020, and Jewish women now have more children on average than Muslim women. Christian and Druze fertility is below replacement, and the Others group is lowest.
Sources. CBS total fertility rates by religion, 2000 to 2025, as reproduced by Wikipedia. “Others” are women with no religion recorded in the register, mostly immigrants from the former Soviet Union, and the series starts in 2004. Rates for Christians and Druze include small populations, so annual changes are noisy.
