The Encyclopaedia Judaica is a 26-volume English-language encyclopedia of the Jewish people and their faith, Judaism.
A shorter "Encyclopaedia Judaica" in Russian launched in the early 1970s under the title «Краткая еврейская энциклопедия» as an abridged translation of the Encyclopaedia Judaica, evolved into a largely independent publication that by the late 2005 included eleven volumes and three supplements and was available online (www.eleven.co.il).
