Two hundred and sixty-seven cities in the United States and nine in Canada have organized central agencies for the planning and financing of Jewish welfare programs, according to the 1942 Directory compiled by the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. These communities comprise about 94 percent of the estimated Jewish population in the United States and 85 percent of the Jewish population of Canada.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
