The American Jewish Year Book, now in its 116th year, is the yearly record of the North American Jewish communities and provides insight into their major trends. Part I presents a forum at the Pew Survey, “A Portrait of American Orthodox Jews.” Part II begins with Chapter 13, “The Jewish Circle of relatives.” Chapter 14 examines “American Jews and the International Arena (April 1, 2015 – April 15, 2016), which specializes in US–Israel Relations. Chapters 15-17 analyze the demography and geography of america, 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 up to now year, Jewish honorees, and obituaries.

An invaluable record of Jewish life, the American Jewish Year Book illuminates latest issues with insight and breadth. This is a window into a complex and ever-changing world.

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 any individual interested in tracing the long-term evolution of Jewish social, political, religious, and cultural trends from an objective yet passionately Jewish standpoint, there simply is no substitute.

Lawrence Grossman, American Jewish Year Book Editor (1999-2008) and Contributor (1988-2015)
