The Jewish Peace Fellowship does not ask for donations very often. But donations are our lifeline for survival. Without your support we cannot exist.
Please give serious thought to supporting the JPF. For seventy-two years we have been the oldest continuous voice for peace within the American Jewish community. In this time of extraordinary tensions in the Middle East it is imperative that our voice be heard.
The JPF is a Jewish voice in the peace community and a peace voice in the Jewish community. We are a nondenominational Jewish organization committed to active nonviolence as a means of resolving conflict. We draw inspiration from traditional sources within the Torah, the Talmud and contemporary peacemaking sages like Martin Buber and Abraham Joshua Heschel.
JPF was founded in support of Jewish Conscientious Objectors to the military. In every war, so long as a draft was in effect, JPF helped educate local draft boards — accustomed only to the Christian roots of Conscientious Objection — about the rich tradition of Judaism’s theological and moral teachings.
Today we support a fair and negotiated settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, oppose war against Iran, and work toward nonmilitary solutions. Please note too that other than a part-time administrative assistant none of us receives a salary.
We are a 501(c)3 public charity and contributions are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. Make your check payable to the Jewish Peace Fellowship, and send it to PO Box 271, Nyack, New York 10960-0271.
