The Association for Jewish Studies (AJS) is a scholarly organization in the United States that promotes academic Jewish Studies. The AJS was founded in 1969 and held its first annual conference that year at Brandeis University.[1][2] In 1976, the AJS began to publish a scholarly journal, the AJS Review.[1] The AJS is the largest academic Jewish Studies organization in the world.[3]
