EDITORIAL.

The article focuses on the fact that the Jewish Journal of Sociology has been brought into being in order to provide an international vehicle for serious writing on Jewish social affairs. There are few opportunities at present for publishing academic and scientific papers on the sociology of the Jews; the purpose of the Journal is to expand the opportunities and to make it possible for good work to appear in print which might otherwise have lain unpublished. The title of the Journal cannot adequately express its scope. The word `Jewish' refers to the nature of the subject-matter, not to the authorship of the papers, and defines a field of study. English is the language most widely spoken among Jews at the present, and for the time being, propose to use it as the main language of the Journal.
