	The Future of American Jewry
		Traditional Jewries were bounded, if only because they often were segregated, and very slow-changing (this without trying to suggest that they did not change, only that the changes were for the most part imperceptible or minimally perceptible to the Jews living in any given time unless there was some kind of upheaval).
		American Jewry was never isolated from the rest of world Jewry, especially from the Jews of Europe and the Mediterranean in the nineteenth century and the Jews of Israel in the twentieth.
		American Jewry will survive more or less as is, perhaps with some drop in population, but there will be a reversal of present trends for reasons at present unknown, and in-migration of Jews from other parts of the world will keep the size of the community more or less stable.

	Can Sephardic Judaism be Reconstructed?
		One was in Italy where, influenced by the Italian Renaissance, Sephardic Jewry produced a particularly sophisticated and cosmopolitan expression of Sephardic Jewish civilization.
		At the end of the eleventh century, perhaps a century after the emergence of a division between Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jewry and their two approaches to halakhah, 97 percent of world Jewry could properly be denominated Sephardic, with only 3 percent Ashkenazic, the latter concentrated in a little area in northern France and western Germany.
		During the nineteenth century these improvements led to a population explosion among Ashkenazic Jewry which was only paralleled in the Sephardic world at the very end of the century.

	Arutz Sheva - Israel National News
		The court has attempted to dismiss the first, but world Jewry requested that the suit continue on its course as we intend to expose Islam's ongoing, never-ending hate and incitement, which blinded Dr. Hilmi and his cohorts into pursuing a useless suit and wasting the court's time and resources.

	Danzig Jewry: A Short History
		On one occasion in 1664, we know that the leaders of Polish Jewry were assembled at the Danzig fair because a document records their resolution of a legal dispute between two Jewish communities in Germany.
		This was the beginning of the association of Danzig Jewry with Germany, the German economy and German culture which lasted until the dissolution of the community in the Nazi era.
		Danzig Jewry lives on in the community archives, which the community leaders decided to entrust to the Jewish community of Jerusalem.

	Jewish Professionals Institute (JPI) - Holocaust Thesis Chapter 3
		It is the “unsettlement of Europe”; that must be studied in order to understand the cultural origins of American Jewry as well as the European cataclysm of 1939-1945.
		Paul E. Grosser and Edwin G. Halperin in Anti Semitism: The Causes and Effects of a Prejudice (1976), have written that “today there is a tendency to assume that the problem of Jewish security and the attitudes of Jews toward their survival grow from the experience of the Holocaust alone".
		Jewry was afflicted by internal resistance against those who would change its traditional character.

	The Transformation of German Jewry, 1780-1840 - David Sorkin
		This study analyzes the transformation of German Jewry in the period from 1780-1840 in order to explain why the nature of the most visible Jewry in modern Europe remained essentially invisible to its own members and to subsequent generations.
		German Jewry was the most visible of the modern European Jewries because in its history all of the hallmarks of modernity seemed to have converged in their fullest and most volatile forms.
		Sorkin examines the revolution of German Jewry through the study of journals, sermons, novels, and theological popularizations that constituted this new German-Jewish "public sphere." This study may also be applied beyond the confines of Jewish history, for it is a study in the afterlife of the German Enlightenment, the Aufklärung, in the culture of liberalism.

	U.S. Jewry retreats from insularity
		Despite the decreasing interest in Israel among American Jews in general, many are hopeful that the election of Israel's new prime minister, Ehud Barak, will renew the momentum in peace negotiations, said Martin Raffel, associate executive vice chair of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs.
		That the national system will try to influence local federations in return was reflected in a June report issued by the UJC and its educational arm, the Jewish Education Service of North America, which urged federations to enhance their support of Jewish education, especially day schools.
		And more than a century after Reform Jewry distanced itself from Jewish rituals and tradition in its Pittsburgh Platform, Reform rabbis reconvened in the same Pennsylvania city to adopt a Statement of Principles that emphasized greater adherence to mitzvot (commandments).

		American Jewry, it seems, is shrinking faster and more profoundly than even the gloomiest of pessimists might have imagined.
		There are undoubtedly many reasons behind American Jewry's decline, but the primary factor is a plague of Jewish ignorance that has reached epidemic proportions.

	The Destruction of European Jewry: A Devastation of Singular Dimensions
		The destruction of European Jewry 60 years ago was one of those singular occurrences in Jewish history that left the Jewish people permanently changed in both substance and image.
		Thus Jewry could face tragedies with a confidence that they were a source of strength, ultimately leading to the full redemption.

	Saving Diaspora Jewry Part I & 2
		This is the depth to which Reform and Conservative Jewry has sunk -- the depth of farce.
		There is no denying that the vast majority of American Jews were afraid to stand up and do whatever could be done to persuade Franklin Roosevelt to bomb the railroad lines leading to the concentration camps, or to open up America's shores to the refugees of the Nazi Holocaust.
		Many Israelis don't know themselves why they're Jewish, don't believe the land they live in is holy, and would gladly give up huge chunks of it for the mere recognition of their right to exist on the Haifa-Tel Aviv-Mediterranean strip.

	NCSJ - Birnbaum and the Struggle for Soviet Jewry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		For this reason, Richard Maass, the first chairman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, called Birnbaum the “conscience for Soviet Jews,” adding that SSSJ was “frequently several steps ahead of the other agencies” of organized American Jewry in understanding the nature of the struggle.
		Birnbaum convinced me that American Jewry would indeed mobilize, that the conscience of the world would be stirred, that Soviet Jews would retrieve their identity and courage and return to the Jewish people.
		Yet the awakening of American Jewry, and the worldwide campaign which followed, was by no means a foregone conclusion: The establishment remained, for the most part, hesitant to invest the resources required for a full-fledged public campaign, while violent extremists threatened to discredit the cause.

		In the darkest years of anti-religious persecution, the Rebbe maintained contact with the Jews of the Soviet Union through many secret channels, even sending emissaries in the guise of tourists and business travelers.
		Whenever he spoke about the suffering of Soviet Jewry and the tremendous sacrifices they made to cling to their faith, the Rebbe would be overcome by emotion.
		Whatever we do for them, he would often say, is but an infinitesimal part of what they give to us with their valiant commitment to our shared destiny.

		The various Soviet Jewry organizations also encouraged tens of thousands of American and Western Jews to visit Russia as tourists and to spend time with Jewish dissidents.

		Analyses circulated by the National Conference on Soviet Jewry state that Jews have been targets of anti-Semitic actions and violence and remain threatened in the current atmosphere of unrest and turbulence.
		The absence within the FSU of any tradition of assuring the rights of minorities provide no confidence that the security of the Jewish community can be assumed in the future.
