American Jewish Year Book

The 'American Jewish Year Book' is a longstanding annual reference that compiles statistics, essays, and reports on Jewish life in the United States and worldwide.

The 1979 edition includes demographic data, synagogue directories, and analyses relevant to scholars, communal leaders, and researchers.

The volume provides historical context useful for understanding Jewish population distributions and institutional presence in different cities during the late 20th century.

It is compiled and edited by scholars and communal experts who aggregate government data, survey results, and organizational reports.

The Year Book is frequently used as a primary source for historical research on American Jewish communities.
