Judaism suffers a demographic/integration problem.
1) Many Jews marry non-Jewish partners. This wouldn't be a problem if the non-Jewish partners converted, but many do not. That's not the worst of it. Jewishness is passed down maternally (through the mother), so if a male Jew marries a female gentile, his descendants are not Jews. You can imagine how slowly the Jewish population is growing. It barely keeps even with the Death Rate.
2) Assimilation. Many Jews grow up without a full understanding of their heritage and religion. They lose their religious observance and thus cannot teach their children about Judaism and so on.
Couple the integration problem (marriage, assimilation) with low religious observance and you get a slowly declining population who is unaware of their religion.

Who is Judaism's current leader?
The closest there is to a 'current leader' in Judaism is the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, that gives the 'most authoritative' interpretation of the law; precisely how authoritative it is, however, is a matter for a 'characteristic divergence of opinions' to put it simply, in Judaism :)Answer:Judaism hasn't had a single leader for two thousand years, let alone a current one. Each Jewish community has its own Rabbi or Rabbis. Answer:There is no "current leader" in Judaism as Judaism is not a centralised religion.
