I want to know the answer to the following question:
As of 2012, how many Jewish people lived in the New York metropolitan area?
All the background I'm provided with is that "It is home to the largest Jewish as well as Israeli communities outside Israel, with the Jewish population in the region numbering over 1.5 million in 2012 and including many diverse Jewish sects from around the Middle East and Eastern Europe.". Is that enough to answer the question?
