Kiekvienos bendruomenės apraše nurodomas jos įsikūrimo laikas, žydų gyventojų skaičius skirtingais metais, žymių gyventojų asmenvardžiai, išvardijamos sinagogos ir krautuvės. Kiekvienas miestelis pažymėtas priede spausdinamame Lietuvos žemėlapyje. Pateikiami pasaulyje veikiančių litvakų organizacijų narių sąrašai. Šis vertingas vadovas ypač naudingas savo genealogiją tiriantiems Lietuvos žydų palikuonims.

ENLithuanian Jewish Communities is a remarkable resource for students of Lithuanian Jewish history and for people descended from Lithuanian Jews. This volume lists, in alphabetical order, the major Jewish communities that existed in Lithuania before World War II. The name of each community is accompanied by information about it: when it was founded, the Jewish population in different years, shops and synagogues, and the names of citizens. An appendix locates each town on a map of Lithuania. Since most of the Jewish communities in Lithuania were destroyed in the Holocaust, this volume will be a valuable tool in recreating a picture of Lithuanian Jewry. Other appendices provide member lists from Lithuanian Jewish organizations throughout the world and list agencies that will provide help in further research on Lithuanian Jewry. Descendants of Lithuanian Jews who wish to trace their genealogy will be greatly helped by Lithuanian Jewish Communities.
