: American Jewish Year Book 2014: The Annual Record of the North American Jewish Communities
It is examining the recently completed Pew Report (A Portrait of Jewish American), gender in American Jewish life, national and Jewish communal affairs and the US and world Jewish population. It also acts as an important resource with lists of Jewish Institutions, Jewish periodicals and academic resources as well as Jewish honorees, obituaries and major recent events.
It should prove useful to social scientists and historians of the American Jewish community, Jewish communal workers and the press, among others.
