The American Jewish Year Book 5662 September 14, 1901, TO October 1, 1902 Edited by CYRUS ADLER PHILADELPHIA THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1901 COPYRIGHT, 1901, BY THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA Uorfc <$attimott (pttee THE FRIEDENWALD COMPANY bALTlMORE, MO., U. S. A. PKEFACE The third issue of the American Jewish Year Book has, in common with its predecessors, a calendar and certain statis- tical matter. It differs from that of previous years in de- voting no space whatever to directories, and in laying special stress upon the history of the Jews in Koumania, whose unre- lenting persecution by the Government has produced a con- dition of affairs which will inevitably bring about a consider- able migration to the United States, unless the signatories to the Berlin Treaty will exercise their right under the Treat}-, and compel Eoumania to deal fairly by her Jewish subjects. Beaders of the Year Book who desire to consult a directory are referred to the volume for 5661, and in the first issue they will find a bibliography of Jewish periodicals published in the United States, which has not since been repeated. The list of references to Jewish books and articles* pub- lished during the year is on a larger scale than that in the last issue, and it is hoped that its usefulness has been in- creased by the addition of explanatory and descriptive notes. The statistical material gathered last year has been condensed into summaries which show the communal activities of the various States in the Union. Little progress has been made in arriving at correct figures X PREFACE for the Jewish population of the United States, and the plan of sending out circulars and securing estimates seems well- iiigh hopeless. Within the next year it is expected that a series of investigations will be entered upon which promise to yield more accurate results with regard to the Jewish population of this country than have heretofore been ob- tained. To Miss Henrietta Szold, Secretary to the Publication Committee, I wish to express my profound thanks for her valued aid.
