Background

From the American Jewish Yearbook, Vol. 4, Sept. 22, 1903 – Sept. 9, 1904, pp. 40-108, this list is compiled from information furnished by the subjects, containing the names of Rabbis and Cantors officially connected with congregations in the United States (1903-1904). A few insertions have been made by the editor in the case of Rabbis and Cantors who made no reply to the request for information, but whose name, address, position, etc. were known. Such entries are indicated by an asterik (*).

A digitized copy for all entries is available online at https://www.jstor.org/stable/23600123?seq=1
