The American Jewish Year Book is "The Annual Record of Jewish
Civilization." This volume is a very important and prestigious annual
publication because it has acted as a major resource for academic
researchers, researchers at Jewish institutions and organizations,
practitioners at Jewish institutions and organizations, the media, both Jewish
and secular, educated leaders and lay persons, and libraries, particularly
University and Jewish libraries, for up-to-date information about the American
and Canadian Jewish communities. For decades, the American Jewish Year
Book has been the premiere place for leading academics to publish long
review chapters on topics of interest to the American Jewish community.
