Issues of the Year Book feature special articles dealing with major themes or anniversaries, as well as reports on Jewish life in countries across the globe that are written by local correspondents, and Jewish demographic data. The U.S. and Israel, by far the largest Jewish communities, receive especially detailed treatment.
