AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 5682
The Jewish Publication Society of America has just published the twenty-third issue of the American Jewish Year Book.
Tn addition to the usual features of', calendars, records" of events in the Dast year, directories of Jewish national organizations, list of Jewish Federated Charities, periodicals, Jewish Menrubers of Congress, "-statistics of Jewish population in the United States and throughout the world, it contains a number- of verv interesting articles.
The leadine article in the present volume is a biopTaphical sketch of the late lacob H. Scbiff, from the pen of Dr. Cyrus Adler, of Dropsie Colleee, Iri the passing: away of Tacob H. Scruff the entire Tewish people have been bereft of a staunch chamoion and a worthy representative. His influence in America and throughout the world was so far-reaching that both Tews and non-Tews will long cherish his memory. It is natural that the leading: place in this volume should be given to the inspiring life of this great American Jew. Dr. Adler was a verv close friend of Mr. SchifT and his enthusiastic co-worker in many enterprises, especially those deal-in? with the promotion of Tewish education and learning. Dr. Adler traces Mr. Scruff's earlv life and describes his manifold activities as financier,- philanthropist, humanitarian and communal worker. Dr. Adler has certainly drawn a vivid picture of a many-sided man of affairs and of fcood deed*, always anxious to be of use to his fellow-men and of service to his country.
Rabbi Tacob Kohn, a friend and student of Prof. Israel Fiiedlaender, contributes an article regarding Prof. Friedlaender. and in an attractive manner portrays Dr. Friedlaender as scholar and zealous worker in the cause of Israel.
The Year Book contains also an article on Dr. Abram S. Isaacs, some of whose books were published by the society.
The discussion about the immigrant and his place in American life having become general within recent years, the Year Book considered it important to give a survey of those agencies which the Tews of the United Stares have
7 established for the purpose of helping their immigrant brothers to adapt themselves to conditions here, to imbibe American ideals, and to make their own con tri but >o� to those ideal a. Dr. Charte*
