Jewish Future Alliance

The Jewish Future Alliance is a New York based volunteer group founded by Rabbi Yaacov Behrman dedicated to advocating on behalf of the Jewish community and other minorities. Since its launch, the JFA has emerged as an objective and respected voice of reason representing Jewish communities across the spectrum of belief in the United States and around the world.[1]

Political Advocacy

The JFA serves as a liaison between elected leaders and the constituents they serve to discuss the betterment of the community.[2][3]

United Nations

The JFA helps educate United Nations personnel from countries with small Jewish populations about Jewish religion and many dimensions of Jewish culture. The program also offers tours of the New York Jewish community for dignitaries seeking to explore the religion and culture a Jewish community firsthand.

Crisis Management

The JFA advises organizations on crisis-based public relations and media management. Members of our team of volunteers were involved in a number of international media crisis including handling media during the Mumbai terrorist attacks on November [4] 26, 2008 and its aftermath, the kidnapping of a Rabbi in Ecuador[5] and the expulsion of Rabbi from Russia.[6] The JFA also helps organizations promote their community and holiday events to the press free of charge
