Rezension

“This thoroughly researched and encyclopedic book … is very much a companion to the same authors’ epic work on the annual American Jewish Year Book. … is rather unique for a contemporary publication in being particularly well illustrated with photographs, colored maps and charts, and a vast collection of neatly organized tables of data drawn from recent national and local community surveys of Jewish Americans.” (Barry A. Kosmin, Contemporary Jewry, April 2, 2025)
