Schnoor, and David S. Koffman), national affairs (Ethan Felson), Jewish communal affairs (Lawrence Grossman), Jewish population in the United States (Ira Sheskin and Arnold Dashefsky), and World Jewish population (Sergio DellaPergola). These chapters provide insight into major trends in the North American and world Jewish community. The volume also acts as a resource for the American Jewish community and for academics studying that community by supplying obituaries and lists of Jewish Federations, Jewish Community Centers, national Jewish organizations, Jewish overnight camps, Jewish museums, Holocaust museums, local and national Jewish periodicals, Jewish honorees, major recent events in the American Jewish community, and academic journals, articles, websites, and books. The volume should prove useful to social scientists and historians of the American Jewish community, Jewish communal workers, the press, and others interested in American and Canadian Jews. 410 0$aAmerican Jewish Year Book,$x0065-8987 ;$v1 606 $aJews$zUnited States 606 $aJews$zCanada 615 0$aJews 615 0$aJews 676 $a973.0492405 701 $aDashefsky$b Arnold$01061998 701 $aSheskin$b Ira M.$f1950-$01438272 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438239803321 996 $aAmerican Jewish year book 2012$94198791 997 $aUNINA
