Early Year Books of the Central Conference of American Rabbis

The Reform movement was consolidating itself in the period of mass immigration from Eastern Europe. The demographic change altered the calculation of Reform leaders that their version of Judaism would be the dominant one in the United States. The movement was beginning to produce a culture of serious academic scholarship among its body of American educated rabbis. Reform rabbis were associated with the major leaders of American Jewry. The Year Books from the early years of the run (they continue to appear) are a rarely consulted resource for the study of American Jewish History. At these conferences issues like assimilation and relevant Jewish education for contemporary youth were already active issues for these rabbis long before they entered into mainstream cultural discussion. The descriptions below include the details on the articles. However, each also includes reports on the business of the movement and the statements of the movement on various people and events of the time. 

Later volumes of this journal are quite common, but these are not.
