Jewish fund blocks donations to Jewish Voices for Peace
The Jewish Communal Fund, a major donor-advised charity, has prohibited its members from directing contributions to Jewish Voices for Peace or JVP.
JVP is a progressive Jewish American group that criticizes Israeli human rights abuses.
Fund member Jordan Bollag discovered the ban when his distribution to JVP was rejected, despite other donations going through.
CEO Rachel Schnoll cited a policy change after the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
The fund, with nearly $1 billion revenue in 2022, faces criticism for this decision.
JVP confirmed reports of blocked donations.
This move underscores debates within the Jewish community regarding support for organizations critical of Israeli policies.
JVP rejects Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish supremacist state.
The group opposes Zionism, the ideological foundation of a Jewish ethno-state — but not a state in general.
