The American Jewish Year Book, now in its 118th year, is the annual
record of the North American Jewish communities and provides
insight into their major trends. The first two chapters of Part I
include a special forum on "Contemporary American Jewry: Grounds
for Optimism or Pessimism?" with assessments from more than 20
experts in the field. The third chapter examines antisemitism in
Contemporary America. Chapters on "The Domestic Arena" and "The
International Arena" analyze the year's events as they affect
American Jewish communal and political affairs. Three chapters
analyze the demography and geography of the US, Canada, and world
Jewish populations. Part II provides lists of Jewish institutions,
including federations, community centers, social service agencies,
national organizations, synagogues, Hillels, day schools, camps,
museums, and Israeli consulates. The final chapters present
national and local Jewish periodicals and broadcast media; academic
resources, including Jewish Studies programs, books, journals,
articles, websites, and research libraries; and lists of major
events in the past year, Jewish honorees, and obituaries. Today, as
it has for over a century, the American Jewish Year Book remains
the single most useful source of information and analysis on Jewish
demography, social and political trends, culture, and religion. For
anyone interested in Jewish life, it is simply indispensable. David
Harris, CEO, American Jewish Committee (AJC), Edward and Sandra
Meyer Office of the CEO The American Jewish Year Book stands as an
unparalleled resource for scholars, policy makers, Jewish community
professionals and thought leaders. This authoritative and
comprehensive compendium of facts and figures, trends and key
issues, observations and essays, is the essential guide to
contemporary American Jewish life in all its dynamic
multi-dimensionality. Christine Hayes, President, Association for
Jewish Studies (AJS)and Robert F. and Patricia R. Weis Professor of
