Dear Friends,

For decades, our Jewish values have put our community at the forefront of various national debates, from United States support for Israel to championing civil rights to confronting poverty. I am proud of our efforts and activism, and just as proud that we do not act alone. Partnership and coalition building are integral to the JCPA’s community relations philosophy.

Our model is one of inclusion and agreement. We are strongest when we act in concert and broadly embrace the Jewish community. Only the JCPA has an agenda developed and agreed upon by 14 national advocacy organizations, including the four largest congregational movements, and 125 communities across America. This ensures that before decisions are made perspectives from across the political, social, and theological spectrums are heard and respected. The Jewish community’s many voices are heard in our deliberations and the JCPA is unique in building consensus within our community even while modeling civility when we cannot find that common voice.

The JCPA concept of community relations also requires reaching beyond our own community to the myriad of groups and constituencies that share our concerns. We are an important representative of the organized Jewish community in national and local coalitions. We believe relationships are a source of strength and know collaboration is required for meaningful impact. Just as we convene the various Jewish voices, the JCPA, through efforts like Fighting Poverty with Faith, convenes stakeholders, including religious, labor, business, ethnic, civil rights, and civil society groups to cooperatively address the issues of our time. Together, our call for action is from an entire movement -- a community. Together, we can build a nation and world worthy of our tradition and greatest ideals: justice, compassion, freedom and pluralism.

2012 was my first year as chair of the JCPA, and I have been proud of the work. Our model of community relations is what has enabled our successes in the past and it is the foundation of our advocacy moving forward.

Sincerely,

Larry Gold

Dear Chaverim,

I am proud to present the JCPA’s 2012 Annual Report, not only for the success and hard work it displays, but also for the diverse array of voices that fill its pages. Our work over the past year – as it has every year of over six decades now – has been a direct reflection of the Jewish community’s commitment to a truly just world. And, as with past years, we are telling our stories through the words of the many partners, both in and out of the Jewish community, who have joined us and multiplied our impact.

The report begins with an historical glance at our community’s role at the forefront of social action in an introduction by Wade Henderson, President of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, a coalition organization founded in part by the JCPA (when it was known as NJCRAC) in 1950. The JCPA’s commitment to coalitions and social justice highlighted by Wade is continued throughout by the many stories submitted by community leaders, civic activists, and national policymakers.

In 2012, the JCPA was an active leader in combating the ongoing movement to delegitimize Israel. Through direct community outreach, High Holiday campaigns, and an effort to define Zionism for a modern audience, the JCPA through the Israel Action Network, a project in partnership with The Jewish Federations of North America, helped engage communities on how to understand and counter this new threat to the Jewish state. The campaign to delegitimize Israel was evident this summer as the United Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church (USA) considered resolutions to divest from companies do-ing business with Israel. In response to the ultimately failed proposals, Rev. Katharine Henderson, President of the Auburn Seminary, recounts how the JCPA organized tens of thousands of signatures, including a staggering 1,500 rabbis, to a “Letter in Hope” calling for more productive measures that would deepen our peacemaking partnerships and preserve the important friendship between our communities.

Fighting poverty also continued to be a primary focus of the JCPA in 2012, as 150 rabbis and cantors across the country from all four religious streams, with leadership from Rabbi Leonard Gordon, took the Jewish Community Food Stamp Challenge, raising the issue of hunger and what we can do about it in congregations across the country. Our fight against poverty is never alone, as demonstrated by our successful fifth annual Fighting Poverty with Faith mobilization which focused this year on af-fordable housing. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand describes the JCPA’s leadership and how once again the faith communities came together to act and raise awareness around the common goal of easing the suffering of poverty.

Whether working with elected officials in Congress or committing Jewish organizations to a shared goal of reducing carbon emissions, the JCPA has been active in 2012 to repair the world through Jewish activism. I hope these pages bring you as much joy in what we do as they provide for me.

B’Shalom,

Rabbi Steve Gutow

The paradox of our democracy is inequality. Economically, racially and ethnically, religiously, educationally, we stumble before our founding promise that all are created equal. Yet the enduring strength of that same democracy is the devotion of our diverse population to righting wrongs and pursuing social justice. That was what led A. Philip Randolph, head of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters; Roy Wilkins of the NAACP; and Arnold Aronson, a leader of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council – now the JCPA – to form the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights in 1950. Representing some of our country’s diverse constituencies, these three came together to lead our nation and push for civil rights. They understood then, as we understand today, that civil

rights are won not by one group alone, but through coalition.

This philosophy is what still drives the JCPA’s work today as it champions social justice through its model of community relations. Just as Arnold Aronson believed in 1950, the Jewish community today, through the JCPA, believes that strong intergroup partnerships are the key to successful advocacy. For the JCPA, this begins in its own community. The JCPA has a unique role as the consensus body of the Jewish community. No other group can claim, as it does, to act in the interest of all four main congregational movements, leading national advocacy organizations and 125 Jewish Community Relations Councils around the

country. The JCPA understands the importance of dialogue and common ground and uses that to fuel their advocacy.

Jewish community consensus is just one piece of the JCPA’s community relations philosophy, however. From hunger to the environment to Middle East peace, the JCPA is a national champion of the idea that democracy depends on broad cooperation; that our whole is greater than the sum of our parts. I have been honored to join with the JCPA in advocacy and organizing efforts over the years and have been grateful for their leadership and commitment.

Since our founding with a membership of 30

groups – mostly labor and traditional civil rights groups – we have grown to more than 200 organizations and adopted a new name – The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights – to more closely reflect our mission in the 21st century and to recognize the central importance of both “civil rights” and “human rights” in the work of the coalition. Ours is a truly national coalition that gives voice in Washington – and increasingly around the country – to our nation’s voiceless, ensuring equal opportunity worthy of our democracy. I am proud to be joined by the JCPA in this effort, and proud to share in the community relations philosophy that is integral to our ongoing pursuit of justice.

Israel today faces an intensive and increasingly sophisticated assault on its right to exist as a sovereign, democratic and Jewish state. In order to successfully overcome this challenge we need to mobilize the broad swath of the Jewish community to engage vulnerable audiences and communities throughout the country. In this respect, the religious streams organizations and their extensive network of synagogues and related institutions represents a crucial partner in these efforts. Rabbis in particular represent a core group of respected messengers, who can provide moral leadership in both Jewish and non-Jewish communities.

It has been therefore been very gratifying that the

Israel Action Network (IAN), an initiative of the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) in partnership with the JCPA, has made synagogue outreach a priority in its strategy in defeating delegitimization. As chair of the JFNA Rabbinic Cabinet, which unites rabbis of all ideological streams from across North America, we have partnered with IAN on a range of initiatives.

For example, this year we worked with IAN and the JCPA to mobilize the Jewish response to divestment proposals in the Methodist and Presbyterian churches. Specifically, we enlisted rabbis in the “Letter from American Rabbis to Our Christian Neighbors Regarding Divestment Proposals,” which

1111

drew over 1,500 signatories. These rabbis came from the full spectrum of American Jewry and their efforts contributed to the defeat of divestment.

Similarly, we collaborated with the IAN and other top rabbinical associations, such as the Rabbinical Assembly and The Association of Reform Zionists of America, to launch a 2012 High Holy Days campaign. This campaign provided materials for sermons and congregant education to 5,000 rabbis around the country. While efforts to delegitimize Israel occur year-round, the High Holidays and Succot offered well-placed moments in the Jewish calendar to engage the bulk of our community in a thoughtful and reflective manner. Moreover, it demonstrated how we

can love Israel unconditionally even if we differ on certain policy matters.

In the coming year we look forward to continuing our work together to inform and engage the Northern American Jewish community and strengthen support for the democratic and Jewish state of Israel.

Divisive opinions surrounding Israel are common, yet many cities pale in comparison with Seattle. Pro-Israel and anti-Israel sentiments, far left and far right theologies and deeply polarizing messages are spread across the community, only fueling the fires on each side of the debate.

The presence of the Israel Action Network (IAN) in the Greater Seattle community over the past year has been an invaluable tool in mobilizing pro-Israel activists and taking positive steps for our community.

In February of 2012, staff from the IAN visited Seattle for a three-day workshop to facilitate discussions and address the community’s concerns over support for Israel and to create a strategic plan to build overall support.

The IAN provided a rare opportunity for all Israel organizations to work together on the issue. The IAN held separate sessions for different segments of the community; key staff and leadership of Israel activist organizations, Federation Board and lay leadership, faith leaders in the community and open sessions for the community at large. Each session touched on different topics, but all circled back to the same core concepts: What are the identifiable issues in the community and what can be done to address them?

Soon after the IAN visit, in March of 2012, a peaceful visit by six Israeli LGBT activists was turned into a local scandal when Seattle’s LGBT commission cancelled its meeting with the delegation. The activists’ intention – to discuss the similarities and differences in the LGBT civil rights movements in Israel and in

1313

the United States – was labeled as “pink-washing” and clouded the judgment of the commission. Its members caved before pressure from a small, but loud community that aimed to bring the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the forefront of the visit, and to further divide the community. The IAN readily supported the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle by providing us with the assistance required to push for an apology from the commission and to take proper steps in bringing the Seattle community back together.

When an international crisis arises, like the recent Pillar of Defense, IAN is fully-equipped to help. They kept the Federations up to date with what was happening on the ground in Israel, listed IDF plans, and explained proper messaging for the Federations’ constituencies. It allowed the Seattle Federation to focus on one news

source to get the information we needed to inform our community through e-blasts and website updates, giving us the time to focus on local impact and reach out to local media outlets to get relevant stories before the greater public.

The IAN is an invaluable resource for the Seattle Jewish community and Jewish Federation. The excellent quality of the materials it develops and the support it provides for Federation staff to manage the wide variety of Israel-focused issues that occur in the Seattle community is greatly appreciated. With the IAN’s backing, we are able to continue moving forward, working together and improving Israel relations in our community for the future.

This year, the Israel Action Network (IAN), which is a project of the Jewish Federations of North American in partnership with the Jewish Council For Public Affairs (JCPA), took an important step forward in the fight against Israel’s delegitimization. Understanding that, especially in the modern world, we cannot just be defined by what we are against – we must know what we are for – the IAN started a series of consultations to help redefine Zionism for the twenty-first century.

This important discussion is ultimately about the legitimization - or for some the re-legitimization – of Israel and Zionism. Tapping into JCPA’s and the JFNA’s impressive network, the IAN hosted a

series of day-long seminars uniting American and Israeli thinkers and activists. The emphasis was on moving beyond the philosophical and the ideological toward the practical and the political. The current challenge to Zionism involves both redefining the basics and repositioning Zionism in the public mind. As we update the ideology of Jewish nationalism to be relevant to today’s realities – and dreams – we have to figure out how to translate those ideas into accessible and popular terms. This is not about spin or PR; it is about effective engagement and smart communication.

The discussions centered around the current challenges to Zionism, especially in the progressive

1515

community. It became clear that two supposed problems could actually be great opportunities. Many American Jews, especially young, well-educated American Jews, believe that the core of their Jewish identity is a religious one, and that is a good thing because many also believe that nationalism does more harm than good. In fact, unlike previous generations, most modern Jews build their identities on cultural, ethnic, civilizational foundations rather than theological ones – that means that most Jews are more people-oriented than God-oriented, which is a nationalist, and Zionist, position. That gap between the way many speak about their identities and the actual content of their identities can be the rich soil for a new, deeper understanding about Israel,

Zionism, Judaism, nationalism, particularism, and ourselves.

Moreover, what is unique about IAN is that this work has not remained simply an academic exercise. It forms the “intellectual architecture” that underpins IAN’s 2013 outreach and advocacy strategy. Specifically, it will help IAN and members of its network change the conversation about Israel when reaching out to vulnerable constituencies, such Mainline Protestant churches, minorities and LGBT groups. This process in effect demonstrates how IAN works strategically to engage emerging issues and thereby counter the assault on Israel’s legitimacy.

At Auburn Theological Seminary, we seek to equip bold and resilient leaders who can bridge religious divides, build community, pursue justice, and heal the world. We believe that one cannot pursue justice if one is not spiritually grounded, intellectually rigorous, and able to deal with even the most complicated differences. And we have found a great partner in the JCPA. Together we have partnered on many pursuits - in our local community and across the globe. We have taken a stand against anti-Muslim bigotry. We have stood together against sex trafficking. And we have spent many hours advocating for Israeli-Palestinian peace and against efforts such as divestment that only drive people further apart.

It is often observed that American culture is in the midst of a civility crisis – a crisis so deep that it endangers not only our nation’s governance and economy but the very quality of our democracy. In the Jewish community, a tradition of mahloket l’shem shamayim / “controversy for the sake of heaven” has degenerated into a pervasive dynamic of polarized discourse, including name-calling, ad hominem attack, mutual exclusion, and demonization. Around the country, congregations and communities find it impossible to talk constructively about Israel. Many rabbis feel they must avoid the issue for fear of damage to the fabric of community, personal attack and even job loss. Nothing less than the health and strength of our community is at stake.

The JCPA has used its considerable influence to address this problem with its Civility Campaign, providing Jewish leaders with the tools needed to restore civil discourse to our communities. This is no easy task. It requires a multidimensional approach, including high-level leadership conversation, training in deep listening and respectful speech for leaders, and study of classical Jewish texts that call us to values of decency and menschlichkeit in our relations with one another. Last year, for the second time, as part of the civility campaign, we developed and disseminated a wonderful set of civility resources prior to the high holidays - sample sermons, essays, and other reflections on themes related to listening,

21

communication, and repentance. We know that these materials were read, studied and taught by many rabbis around the country. When tragedy struck Newtown, Connecticut, I was grateful to be part of the JCPA team. It was comforting and inspiring for me to partner with JCPA staff and leadership to turn our grief and horror into strategic leadership, galvanizing the Jewish community around goals of common-sense gun violence prevention efforts. This work demanded the best of our insights into polarized communication, as we helped organize and inspire others around these issues, all the while insisting that we respect and hear those who view matters differently than we do. From

the day of the shooting, I knew that JCPA was uniquely positioned to bring together community and religious leaders to support a positive and constructive call for life-saving change, while respecting the plurality of views even within our own community. It has been a privilege and a blessing to be part of such a great team.

Three out of every four Americans are Christian – and those Christians are as diverse as America itself. Navigating Christian-Jewish relations is a complicated task – and one at which the JCPA excels.

Along with maintaining its constructive associations with Catholic and mainline Protestant constituencies, the JCPA for the past several years has been instrumental in leading roundtable discussions with leaders in America’s Evangelical community. Through these informative and frank conversations, we continue to correct many of the misunderstandings Jews and Evangelicals often have of each other, foster productive dialogue on such matters as the role of religion in the public sphere, Christian proselytism, and various Evangelical views on the Middle East, and build the trust needed for establishing partnerships and working toward common goals.

Habitat for Humanity is very appreciative of the leadership of JCPA in the Habitat National Interfaith Advisory Council. JCPA has been especially involved and helpful in Habitat’s Argosy Foundation Interfaith Program, a one year program of six local habitat for Humanity affiliates (Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seattle, Kent County (MI), Denver, and NYC) to test the Habitat Interfaith Advocacy Toolkit. The Interfaith Advisory Council has met with the affiliates, made public presentations, aided local affiliates in recruiting Jewish, Muslim and Christian leaders for the local projects and given advice in many ways. In addition to JCPA, the Habitat Interfaith Advisory Council’s leadership includes the Director of the Islamic Society of North America and the Washington Director of the National Council of Churches.

How do you multiply the impact of an important program? During the summer of 2012 the JCPA leadership considered the next step in raising awareness about hunger and food insecurity in America at a time when budget discussions in Washington were threatening core social welfare programs. JCPA turned to those who lead synagogue communities as Rabbis and Cantors and imagined finding 100 clergy to take the Challenge (living for a week on the average food stamp allocation of $31.50) during the week before the fast of Yom Kippur. Participants were asked to set up personal FSC web pages seeking donations in multiples of $31.50. I was honored to chair the project.

What happened next exceeded our expectations. Over 100 Rabbis and Cantors from all denominations

joined the effort. Some began in early Fall around the holidays, others later in the year (one focus was on the week before Thanksgiving). We raised over $50,000 in small donations to support JCPA advocacy work and denominational programs fighting hunger in America and in Israel. Perhaps most importantly, the word spread. In synagogues, local news outlets, and Facebook groups participants shared stories, recipes and the impact of the Challenge experience.

For myself, taking the Food Stamp Challenge was eye-opening in unexpected ways. First, I had to find a week when I did not have multiple dinners and other events where food is served without cost and in abundance. Then I had to shop and pay attention to pricing. One of the first things I confronted afresh were the special challenge of reducing costs when you

are buying kosher food and preparing for Shabbat. On a limited budget socializing by inviting people for shared meals becomes a virtual impossibility. Finally, there was the week of the Challenge itself, experiencing, if not hunger, then a constant sense of limits and of not being sated.

In my community, I was joined in the FSC by our teens. On the Sunday of the Challenge week we went shopping as a group. Using the average per/meal allocation, we made a simple dinner of pasta, salad and canned fruit. A PBS film crew from the program Religion and Ethics followed the kids around and recorded their experience of discovering that grocery items have prices (!), and that quality, price, volume and value are related in complicated ways. PBS also filmed our study of Jewish texts related to communal

responsibility and support for those in need. The resulting program on Jews confronting poverty spread the message further.

One final impact: The National Rabbinic Food Stamp Challenge deepened the partnership between Rabbis and Cantors and the JCPA to make a difference in the lives of our communities and those around us. As a rabbinic community we look forward to future partnerships.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities has worked closely with the JCPA staff over the years on critical policy issues affecting millions of low-income Americans. We have partnered together numerous times to help protect and improve effective programs that provide essential services and supports for vulnerable Americans, including nutrition, health care, and refundable tax credits that help struggling families make ends meet. JCPA has been one of the real leaders in the faith community, adding a critical voice to the public discourse on these issues. Its leadership and commitment to working on these issues have been very important over the years, and we have been very grateful for our partnership and JPCA’s contributions.

During these difficult economic times for millions of American families, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) has been an incredible partner in the fight to protect the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamps, as we know it. This hunger relief program has never been more critical to keep food on the table for tens of millions of children across the country.

I look forward to working with the JCPA to continue to fight to protect SNAP from any cuts in the Farm Bill. As a mother, I am very concerned with the proposed cuts of $4.5 billion over the next 10 years, in the Senate “placeholder” Farm Bill. The cuts in this bill, which the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates would result in an average cut of $90 per month for a half million households,

already goes $9 billion beyond the agreed to sequestration numbers. $90 a month represents the last week of the month worth of groceries for a typical family. And if you are a parent who is trying to protect your children and feed them good, wholesome, nutritious foods, it means everything in the world.

I am also fighting to avoid the “food cliff ” on October 31st of this year, when a temporary increase in the SNAP program to boost the economy (approximately $25 per family of four per month) is set to expire. I know this is a major concern for the JCPA as well. CBO predicts that we have 4 more years until the unemployment rate and GDP growth returns to pre-2008 levels, and therefore I am working to extend these SNAP

funds until 2017. These families cannot afford to go without the fourteen meals they would lose per month without this critically needed extension.

The facts are that half of food stamp benefit recipients are children, and another 17% are seniors. Additionally, according to a new report, the brave men and women who have put their lives on the line to defend our country used more than $100 million in federal food aid on military bases just over the past year alone. This $100 million in food assistance for our active duty men and women has tripled since 2008, and includes 1,000 current military members.

I am so proud to partner with the Council on our mutual priority of eliminating hunger in America,

especially for our children, the future of our great nation. I thank JCPA for its dedication and leadership on these issues, and I look forward to continuing our work together.

Last year, I was one of 50 Jewish community leaders to sign onto the Jewish Energy Covenant Campaign, coordinated by the Coalition on the Environment in Jewish Life (COEJL), an initiative of the JCPA. True to the commandment ba’al tashhit, not to waste or destroy our natural resources, we pledged to reduce our energy consumption and advocate for better environmental standards and renewable energy sources.

Hadassah has a long history supporting environmentalism. Since 1926, we have partnered with the Jewish National Fund to plant millions of trees, prepare Israel for agriculture, and bolster Israel’s water supply. Domestically, Hadassah has been a vocal advocate for energy efficiently and independence to improve both the environment and international security.

Hadassah is also committed to promoting sustainable solutions in our own facilities. At our Centennial Celebration in October, we proudly dedicated our new cutting-edge, energy efficient Sarah Wetsman Davidson Tower at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem. Efforts were made to use local materials in order to reduce the building’s carbon footprint, while also supporting Israel’s economy. The building employs a wide array of high-efficiency heating/cooling, plumbing and electrical systems, in addition to improved insulation, water recycling, a natural light design, dimmers and computerized lighting controls.

As part of the Covenant Campaign, Hadassah formed a Green Team comprised of National Board Members to work with Hadassah’s headquarters and units throughout the country to develop a plan to reduce energy consumption. We are also in the process of finding a new location for our national headquarters and sustainability is a key aspect of that search. We are committed to the principles of the Jewish Energy Covenant Campaign and hope to set an example so our chapters and members will do the same.

During the past two years, one of the most important steps forward toward Jewish commitment to protection and healing of our wounded Earth has been the emergence of the Green Hevra. The very coming into existence of fifteen distinctive eco-Jewish organizations was already an important step. For a range of these groups from the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism to several Jewish organic farms to have joined in the Green Hevra, to have twice convened in-depth retreats, to have begun developing agreed program, and most recently, to have adopted working toward a “sustainable climate” as a collective goal of the coalition has embodied a level of communication and coordination that is even more important. COEJL, an initiative of the JCPA, provides administrative support for the Green Hevra and has been a considerable help not only internally, but in strengthening eco-Jewish communication with the broad reaches of the organized Jewish community.
