What is J Street ?
Hello and Welcome to J Street
J Street represents an exciting frontier in realizing the moderate voices of American Jews. If you feel that most Jewish organizations do not represent you, J Street does.
What is J Street? Many people think that the J in J Street stands for Jewish. It does not. It stands for Judeinrein, an old Yiddish word that embodies our commitment to Jewish social justice.
What does J Street do? J Street is the New Address for Middle East Peace and Security. J Street works to assuage the security concerns of Middle Eastern countries worried about the Israeli threat to Middle Eastern Peace and Security.
As poll after poll demonstrates the world community is primarily concerned about the threat that Israel poses to peace in the Middle East and around the world. J Street is our way to convey the support of American Jews like you for those concerns and insist that Israel end its provocative policy of attempting to survive in a region that clearly does not want it.
For too long the American Jewish community has represented by the far right warmongering of groups such as AIPAC. J Street will represent the silent majority of American Jews who seek a more moderate approach and wish to pick up the New York Times without being embarrassed by another Israeli military action.
Our work is dedicated to bringing peace to the Middle East through our philosophy of "Judenrein" which has been defined by Rabbi Michael Lerner as embodying the progressive Jewish approach to Social Justice by defining ourselves as the problem. Once we have defined ourselves as the problem, the final solution is obvious.
What can I do to help J Street? Speak out. Too many politicians continue to believe that Jewish concerns are Pro Israel. We at J Street intend to demonstrate that to the contrary the majority of American Jews are Anti-Israel and that we are their representatives.
Write to your local congressman and inform him or her that you are a Jewish American who supports the end of Settlements, the end of Arms Sales to Israel and the end of Israel. Write to your local newspaper and donate to J Street.

Schiklgruber.
Who Funds J Street? J Street receives funds from a variety of both Jewish and Non-Jewish donors who support our work. These range from George Soros to several Saudi princes.
What Issues Does J Street Support? J Street supports a policy of "strong diplomacy" toward Ahmadinejad that preserves his right to develop nuclear weapons free from any military attack. J Street supports the rights of Arab terrorists to occupy every part of Israel. J Street believes that these are the best ways to secure Israel's security.
