Sommario/riassunto

Across three centuries, AJYB has provided insight into major trends. Part I of the current volume contains eight chapters: The first lead chapter includes an Audit of Antisemitic Incidents in 2023 produced by the ADL, and the second chapter examines Denominational Identity and Jewish Engagement. Subsequent chapters analyze recent domestic and international events as they affect the American Jewish community, major events in the past year, and the demography and geography of the US, Canada, and World Jewish populations. Part II contains nine chapters: lists of local Jewish organizations; Jewish museums, and Holocaust museums and monuments; overnight camps; national Jewish organizations; Jewish press; Jewish academic programs; Jewish academic resources; Jewish honorees; and Jewish obituaries. This volume employs an accessible style, making it of interest to public officials, Jewish professional and lay leaders, as well as the general public and academic researchers. For more than a century, the American Jewish Year Book has served as an indispensable compendium of Jewish demographic trends, research and data. It is considered a must-read for data scientists, demographers, community leaders or anyone interested in the trends that make up the lifeblood of the Jewish experience in America. We are proud of our contributions to this essential resource. —Jonathan A. Greenblatt, CEO and National Director of ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) The American Jewish Year Book is a unique resource of tremendous value to anyone interested in global Jewish life. It is critical for people today, and it will be for those who come after us. Its lists capture not only critical information about key aspects of Jewish communal life, but provide the opportunity for reflection, comparison, and analysis with other religious and ethnic communities. —Riv-Ellen Prell, Professor Emerita, American Studies and the Center for Jewish Studies, University of Minnesota.
