American Jewish Year Book 2019

The American Jewish Year Book, now in its 119th year, is the annual record of the North American Jewish communities and provides insight into their major trends. Featured articles in Part I include the first two chapters on "Jews in the United States and Israel: A Comparative Look Upon Israel's 70th Anniversary" and "The Presidential Voting of American Jews." Following these chapters are two on "The Domestic Arena" and "The International Arena," which analyze the year's events as they affect American Jewish communal and political affairs. Four chapters then 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. This annual record appeals to professionals, researchers, laymen alike.
