      abstract = {Across three centuries, AJYB has provided insight into  major trends. Part I of the current volume contains two  chapters on Jewish Americans in 2020 by the Pew Research  Center, including reactions from 16 prominent social  scientists. Subsequent chapters analyze the development of  Holocaust consciousness in America, recent domestic and  international events as they affect the American Jewish  community, and the demography and geography of the US,  Canada, and world Jewish populations. Part II provides  lists of Jewish institutions, including federations,  community centers, social service agencies, national  organizations, camps, museums, and Israeli consulates. The  final chapters present lists of Jewish periodicals and  broadcast media, Jewish Studies programs, books, journals,  articles, websites, research libraries, and academic  conferences and lists of major events in the past year,  Jewish honorees, and 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  120 years the American Jewish Year Book has served as an  indispensable resource for scholars, clergy, and lay  leaders, providing crucial, detailed insights into  demographic shifts and sociological trends in the North  American Jewish community. The latest edition continues to  fulfill these important needs with essential articles on  the landmark Pew Report and the impact of the Holocaust in  the American Jewish community and American in general. This  is a must-have volume for any serious student of the  contemporary Jewish world. Jeffrey Shoulson, Senior Vice  Provost for Academic Affairs, Professor of Literatures,  Cultures, and Languages, and English, Director Emeritus  Center for Judaic Studies and Contemporary Jewish Life,  University of Connecticut The American Jewish Year Book is  a critical snapshot of Jews and Jewish Studies in the  United States in a particular year, and a valuable resource  for scholars studying the changes in Jewish communities and  Jewish Studies in the United States (and beyond!) over  time. The AJYB highlights major publications and data that  are consistently used in research, and its scholarly essays  contextualize the information in an easily readable  context. The lists of important institutions and  organizations are invaluable for someone interested in the  broader Jewish experience (or, at the most practical, a  Jewish organization in their neighborhood!).
