The American Jewish Year Book, now in its 116th year, is the annual
record of the North American Jewish communities and provides
insight into their major trends. Part I presents a forum on the Pew
Survey, "A Portrait of American Orthodox Jews." Part II begins with
Chapter 13, "The Jewish Family." Chapter 14 examines "American Jews
and the International Arena (April 1, 2015 - April 15, 2016), which
focuses on US-Israel Relations. Chapters 15-17 analyze the
demography and geography of the US, Canadian, and world Jewish
populations. In Part III, Chapter 18 provides lists of Jewish
institutions, including federations, community centers, social
service agencies, national organizations, synagogues, Hillels, day
schools, camps, museums, and Israeli consulates. In the final
chapters, Chapter 19 presents national and local Jewish periodicals
and broadcast media; Chapter 20 provides academic resources,
including Jewish Studies programs, books, articles, websites, and
research libraries; and Chapter 21 presents lists of major events
in the past year, Jewish honorees, and obituaries. An invaluable
record of Jewish life, the American Jewish Year Book illuminates
contemporary issues with insight and breadth. It is a window into a
complex and ever-changing world. Deborah Dash Moore, Frederick G.
L. Huetwell Professor of History and Judaic Studies, and Director
Emerita of the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies, University of
Michigan A century from now and more, the stately volumes of the
American Jewish Year Book will stand as the authoritative record of
Jewish life since 1900. For anyone interested in tracing the
long-term evolution of Jewish social, political, religious, and
cultural trends from an objective yet passionately Jewish
perspective, there simply is no substitute. Lawrence Grossman,
American Jewish Year Book Editor (1999-2008) and Contributor
(1988-2015)
