The American Jewish Year Book (AJYB) was published for a full 108 years. 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 in 1994 AJC became the sole publisher. The American Jewish Year Book was “The Annual Record of Jewish Civilization.” For more than a century a highly important and prestigious annual publication that served as a unique resource for research, providing up-to-date information not only about the American Jewish community, but news and opinion about Jewish affairs around the globe. Publication of the American Jewish Year Book ceased with the 2008 volume but was revived again in 2012.
