The American Jewish World is a newspaper published inMinnesota. It began as a 16-pageweekly on June 12, 1912, as a means of uniting Jews from Minnesota behind the cause ofZionism.^[1] In 1964 the newspaper changed to a five-columntabloid format. In 2009 publication changed to biweekly, and as subscriptions and advertising revenue continued to fall it switched to a monthly schedule from March 2019.

The paper was founded bySamuel Deinard, anEastern European Jew who arrived in Minneapolis in 1901 to serve as therabbi ofReform JudaismTemple Shaarei Tov.^[2] He had first launched a newspaper titledJewish Progress in 1904 andJudean in 1905 but these both soon failed. He launched another weekly paperScribe in 1907 which included a four-pageYiddish supplement. This too failed, and in 1912 he launchedJewish Weekly which lasted six months. It relaunched asAmerican Jewish World (AJW) in 1915.^[3]
