The Jewish diaspora refers to the dispersion of the Jews from their homeland in Yisrael. Jews who have lived continuously in the succession of states before and up to Yisrael (or subsequently permanently moved to Yisrael) are referred to as "Yisraeli Jews."

List of Jews by country and region
Ottonian Jews
Arthuristan Jews
Belfrasian Jews
The small Jewish population of Belfras.
Ghantish Jews
The small Jewish population of Ghant. It numbers just under 10,000, and includes an expatriate community of Yisraeli Jews in Ghant. It is largely centered in Ghish. Owing to nearby inter-religious squabbles, the Ghantish Jewish community is split between more secular liberal Liberal Reformed Judaism (approximately 60%) and the more traditional Orthodox Judaism (40%). Although Ghantish public life is largely free and open, there have been incidents by some Ghantish of far-right Catholic persuasions who are pro-Sydalene Christian terrorists in Yisrael and have used political violence on their fellow Ghantish Jewish citizens. The Ghantish government has vowed to put an end to these occasional incidents.
Jews of Western Continental Belisaria
The small Jewish populations of the Latin Empire, Gelonia, Aethele, and Lyncanestria.
Jews of Eastern Belisaria
The small Jewish populations of the states of Seredinia, Polnitsa, and Velikoslavia.
Jews of Central Belisaria
The small Jewish populations of Vannois and Lihnidosi Empire
Sydalene Jews
The Sydalene Jewish population numbers about 300,000, and is perhaps the oldest and most continuously-settled diasporic population of Jews in the world. This population, because of its longevity, has seen wide swings in its numbers and fortunes over the millennia. In ancient Judea, a sizable percentage of the then-Jewish population converted to Christianity and joined its ranks, thinning the community at that time. The population rose during proto-Sydalon's unification with pre-Yisrael in the Greater Yisraeli Governorate, but fell precipitously during the Crusades in the 14th century. It recovered until the 20th century, when the Sydalene-Yisraeli cold war destabilized it again until the 1973 Yarden Accords. Currently, Sydalon has 293,900 Jews, about 2% of its population.
