American Jewish Year Book

The American Jewish Year Book (AJYB) has been published since 1899 (125 years ago) (1899). Publication was initiated by the Jewish Publication Society (JPS). In 1908, the American Jewish Committee (AJC) assumed responsibility for compilation and editing while JPS remained the publisher. From 1950 through 1993, the two organizations were co-publishers, and from 1994 to 2008 AJC became the sole publisher. From 2012 to the present, Springer has published the Year Book as an academic publication. The book is published in cooperation with the Berman Jewish DataBank^[1] and the Association for the Social Scientific Study of Jewry.^[2]
