Which cities in the Soviet Union had the largest percentage (not total number of Jews, but percentage out of the total population of these cities) of Jews in 1959?
I know that some cities and/or towns in the historical Pale of Settlement had either a Jewish majority or a Jewish plurality before the Holocaust. However, I am curious about demographic data shortly after the Holocaust for Soviet Jews due to the fact that a majority of the Jews within the Soviet Union's 1938 borders appear to have survived the Holocaust.

As per the 1959 Soviet census, Jews constituted 2.2% of the city dwellers across the USSR ( https://books.google.com/books?id=Cd3RM6Emko0C&pg=PA136) Odessa had a Jewish population of 16% ( https://books.google.com/books?id=6GiZl8je1aEC&pg=PT172) In Kiev the Jews represented 13% of the urban population in 1959 ( https://books.google.com/books?id=V7g8AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA28) The Jewish Autonomous Oblast, all in all, had 9% Jewish population in 1959 (not sure about Birobidzhan town specifically, though) -- Soman ( talk) 19:18, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
By the way, could Chernivtsi be a possible candidate for this--beating out even Kishinev? It states here that there were about 37,000 Jews in Chernivtsi in 1959:

Meanwhile, the Russian Wikipedia gives Chervitsi's total population in 1959 as 152.3 thousand, or around 152,300. 37,000 divided by 152,300 is 24% (24.3%, to be more precise). Does this figure seem right to everyone here? Futurist110 ( talk) 19:30, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
Are there any Christian denominations which preach that its ok to terminate a pregnancy after fertilization but not after implantation? Wlo343 ( talk) 04:02, 24 April 2019 (UTC)— Wlo343 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Strictly speaking, if implantation has not occurred, you aren't pregnant.-- Khajidha ( talk) 10:48, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi! I was suprised the beard of Francis I of France was not mentioned in the article. It's a well-known fact in France that he sported a beard to hide scars. I've edited the article but my English might be incorrect. Could you please kindly check and improve it? Thanks 42.118.49.88 ( talk) 15:10, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
