It is a powerful ideal captured in a simple name.
When a small group of German Jewish immigrants gathered in Sinsheimer’s Café on the Lower East Side of Manhattan to discuss helping other Jews adapt to their new country, it was the label they chose for the organization they formed more than 175 years ago.
“B’nai B’rith.” Children of the covenant.
Those immigrants on that day had no idea the words they put together would become one of the most respected and consequential names in Jewish advocacy, enduring for 175 years and having an impact at the highest levels of their own government and around the globe.
They only knew that all Jews shared a commitment to one another.
We still do.
The same enduring mission that has guided us for more than 175 years is the one that will unite us in the future.
You might even call it a “covenant.”
B’nai B’rith is the Global Voice of the Jewish Community. And with your help, we will continue to be heard for another 175 years…and beyond.
