hello99,

From Wikipedia: (TFR = total fertility rate)

TFR is very high among Haredi Jews. For Ashkenazi Haredim, the TFR rose to 8.51 in 1996 from 6.91 in 1980. The figure for 2008 is estimated to be even higher. TFR for Sephardi/Mizrachi Haredim rose from 4.57 in 1980 to 6.57 in 1996.

Even if you’re correct that the TFR is higher in E.Y. than in the U.S., there could still be enough growth in the U.S. to easily have a 4% annual growth.
