This is the first full-scale bibliography of American synagogue histories- more than 1100 of them- plus community histories, selected secondary sources, and an appendix dealing with synagogue architecture.
The history of American Jewry is reflected the history of its synagogues and communities. Now, for the first time, this history can truly be written from the bottom up, beginning with local sources.
This book allows researchers to locate all available sources about the history of a specific synagogue, or representative materials about important aspects of American-Jewish history and tradition.
