For Israel

Summary of American Jewish Organizations

After the Cleveland General Assembly concluded 11/17/04, Uriel Heilman wrote:

"It's not easy making sense of the American Jewish organizational superstructure - largely because there is none. ....There are at least as many Israel advocacy groups in America as there are positions on the Israeli political spectrum. Any attempt to provide a comprehensive list or picture of American Jewish organizations is necessarily folly, because hardly a day goes by without a new one being born. The question of which ones are relevant to the bulk of American Jews changes with each generation. The only certainty is that few ever die. "

Here's some good news: for financial efficiency, www.charitynavigator.com still gives top rankings to the Jewish Federations of Cincinnati and Dayton.
