National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy,  Executive Director: Rick Cohen     UNIVERSITIES:  (Current or recent)    Ronald Ehrenberg, the Irving M. Ives Professor of Industrial and Labor Relations and vice president for academic programs, planning and budgeting, drew mainly from his personal experiences and his background as a Jew to demonstrate the continued need for affirmative action programs ... . Six out of eight Ivy League universities in recent years have had Jewish presidents, Ehrenberg said.    Its fascinating, observed President James O. Freedman in the February 11 Los Angeles Times, that there was not a Jewish president of a major university  with one or two exceptions  until about 15 years ago. And then all of a sudden  without notice  there are Jewish presidents now at dozens of major institutions. Among all those presidents, however, Freedman remains among the most outspoken on Jewish issues in higher education. Through a series of public comments, notably his 1990 attack on the Dartmouth Review, Freedman has repeatedly used his ethnicity to make a name for himself in academic circles. The Los Angeles Times interview concerned his comments at the opening of the Roth Center for Jewish Life, in which he exposed Dartmouths history of anti-Semitism.    Tufts University,  Lawrence S. Bacow, recently installed as president of Tufts University, likes to say that the naming of a Jewish college president is hardly newsworthy anymore. After all, MIT named Jerry Weisner in 1970, and since then Jewish presidents have reigned at prestigious institutions from Dartmouth to Harvard, Penn to Princeton ... And, the new Tufts head boasts, every door of the President's mansion on the Medford campus now hosts a mezzuzah, while the kitchen has been koshered for his family's use. Bacow's strong commitment to Judaism and the Jewish community is clear from his positions as a director of the Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly and a trustee of Hebrew College, and his wife's role as a trustee of Temple Emmanuel in Newton. He believes it is important for American Jews to 'speak up on behalf of Israel and to show their support visibly,' yet he understands the complexities of the situation.    Harvard University,  President: Lawrence Summers (replaced Neil Rudenstine)  I speak with you today not as President of the University but as a concerned member of our community about something that I never thought I would become seriously worried about -- the issue of anti-Semitism. I am Jewish, identified but hardly devout.  (More concern about anti-Semitism)    Yale University,  President: Richard L. Levin    Princeton University,  President: Harvey Shapiro (stepped down after 12 years, in 2001)    Dartmouth College,  President: James O. Freedman  (What Being Jewish Means to Me: I dearly wish that my father, who had confronted anti-semitism in finding his early teaching positions, had lived long enough to see the installation of Jewish presidents at numerous Ivy League and Big Ten universities.)

In this way, we express the essential inter-relatedness between our own actions and the larger community in and for which we act.  * [T]he University of Pennsylvania will not support divestment from Israel, boycotts of Israeli scholars and scientists, or any effort to stifle the free expression of diverse ideas and opinions about the Middle East conflict by our faculty and students.  * [T]argeting Israel for divestment and boycotts is wrong.

He also sat on the board of the Office of Technology Assessment. He now is the chairman of the U of A Foundation, which manages endowments.     RELIGIOUS    (Note: a pillar of interfaith Jewish-Christian organizations tends to be the propagandizing of Christian sensitization to Jewish concerns about anti-Semitism (underscoring alleged Christian blame for the Holocaust), and revision of historical Christian religious texts to accommodate Jewish demands. These types of organizations are typically constructed towards Christian sympathy of Jewish hostility to Christianity. Note that at least two organization directors are rabbis at Christian colleges -- a situation that is reciprocally (read: priest) unthinkable at a Jewish center of higher learning. Interfaith dialogue with Jewry is essentially Christian CONCESSION to Jewish perspective, never the other way around.)

Rabbi Eckstein has sucked tens of millions of dollars from innocent Christians for brutal, racist Israel -- a country that has contempt for them.)
