Goals

1. To create a body of articles that accurately depicts the history and culture of Jewish Americans in the United States.
2. To combat ignorance in Jewish-American related articles. Some existing articles need expansion or partial rewrites. Using accurate sources would counteract a good deal of the problems with these articles.
3. To standardize articles on Jewish-American subjects. They should have similar layouts, formatting, etc.
4. To standardize the use of Jewish-American terms, names, and translations into English across the series.
5. American Jews as a featured article.
