From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Conference on Jewish Social Studies was established in 1933 as the Conference on Jewish Relations by Salo W. Baron and Morris Raphael Cohen.[1] Baron was chairman from 1933 till 1988.[2] The immediate issue was facing rapidly spreading Nazi world propaganda with its fabrications and falsehoods. In addition, it aimed to get a fuller picture about Jewish population, economics, and various aspects of Jewish life.[3]

In 1936, Albert Einstein presided over the conference.[3][4]

Among the sponsored projects by the conference was the quarterly journal Jewish Social Studies, which began being published regularly from January 1939.[3]

In 1955 the conference obtained its present title.[5] It was active till 1988.[2] Its journal continues and is currently published by Indiana University Press.[6][7][8])
