Abstract:

In just a few years, our global Jewish priorities have changed dramatically. Today's top three priorities—ensuring the survival of Israel, combating anti-Semitism, and improving Jewish-Arab relations—are political priorities that have superseded philanthropic imperatives. The American Jewish community, which shares world Jewish leadership with the Government of Israel, will be called upon to meet these challenges.
