These are not leaders they are Socialist symps that got the bright idea of putting Jewish in the name to hide their TRUE agenda.
Executive Leadership
Simon Greer
Position: President and CEO
Simon Greer
is President and CEO of Jewish Funds for Justice (JFSJ), a national public foundation guided by Jewish history and tradition. Since the mid-1980s JFSJ has developed new ways to create social change and strengthen low-income communities. Since he assumed his position in 2005, Mr. Greer has led the organization through a period of dramatic institutional growth and increased philanthropic impact. Mr. Greer’s attention to organizational culture, change management, and leadership development has helped enable such growth in only five years.

An outsider to the organized Jewish community but a leader in the social change movement, Mr. Greer has made innovation a hallmark of his tenure and JFSJ’s success. He is “one of the smartest, savviest, most strategic, most visionary leaders in American Jewish life,” according to Rabbi David Saperstein (named by Newsweek as America’s most influential rabbi in 2009).

JFSJ is often the first Jewish organization working in a range of fields, from community investing to synagogue organizing to Gulf Coast redevelopment. With Mr. Greer’s direction, JFSJ has become an industry leader in the field of leadership development. He teaches and lectures widely on organizational development, philanthropy, and social movements. Before joining JFSJ, Mr. Greer worked as a labor and community organizer and social change leader for 15 years. He founded Jews United for Justice, an urban social change group in Washington, DC and served as the Executive Director for New York Jobs with Justice.

Steve Fischman
Steve Fischman is President and CEO of New England Development, a major real estate development firm headquartered in Boston. Mr. Fischman serves as a trustee of Partners Healthcare System, trustee and board co-chair of Jewish Funds for Justice, trustee of Kenyon College and trustee emeritus and former chairman of the board of Newton-Wellesley Hospital and trustee of Boston Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Mr. Fischman received a B.A. degree from Kenyon College and a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He served in the Peace Corps in Columbia, South America.

Steven S. Fischman, together with Stephen R. Karp, has overseen the expansion of New England Development into a multi-faceted real estate development and investment company. As President and General Partner, Mr. Fischman has worked not only on the many developments overseen by the company but has also overseen investments in other real estate and non-real estate activities. Prior to joining New England Development, Mr. Fischman was a partner at the Boston law firm of Goulston & Storrs where he specialized in real estate and finance law. He represented developers and owners of all types of real estate including shopping centers, hotels, office projects, housing projects and industrial properties.

Amy B. Dean
Amy Dean’s roots are in the American labor movement where she served for almost 20 years. From 1993 – 2003 Dean served as President & CEO of the South Bay AFL-CIO Labor Council.

During her tenure, the New York Times called Amy, “the most innovative figure in Silicon Valley.” As leader of the 15th largest regional labor federation in the country, Dean represented over 90 unions and 110,000 members in the heart of Silicon Valley. She was the youngest person and first woman to lead a major labor federation of the AFL-CIO.

In 2007, after three years on the Board of Jewish Funds for Justice, Amy Dean was elected its co-chair. During her tenure, Amy has overseen two mergers and played a leadership role in helping to integrate three non-profits into one cohesive whole. After completing the mergers, JFSJ continued to grow significantly under her leadership, from $4.7 million operating budget and $13 million in assets in 2007 to $6.3 million operating and $19 million in assets today.

At JFSJ, Amy has focused particular attention on its synagogue organizing and leadership development work. This year, she was a strong voice in support of JFSJ’s 25th anniversary effort to have one-on-one conversations with hundreds of key allies, program participants, and community leaders; the intention is to help JFSJ remain grounded in its constituency’s domestic priorities. In Chicago, Amy is active in her synagogue’s organizing work, a field JFSJ has supported since the 1990s and one that has grown three-fold since Amy began her service on the Board.

Jewish Funds for Justice (JFSJ)

Why is their acronym JFSJ instead of JFJ?

Could it be that the name was originally "Jewish Funds for SOCIAL Justice"? Indeed, from their own website, they have:

Jewish Funds for Justice was founded to affirm the historic commitment of the Jewish people to work for social and economic justice in the United States. Since the 1980s, we have developed new ways to strengthen low-income communities and create social change. From community investing to grantmaking to service learning, each of our approaches is guided by Jewish values and inspired by Jewish tradition. We believe it is our Jewish obligation to partner with those in need no matter their religious or ethnic identity.

Jewish Funds for Justice (JFSJ) was created in 2006 when our legacy organizations, The Shefa Fund and Jewish Fund for Justice, merged. Each organization brought a distinguished record of accomplishment as public foundations committed to using Jewish resources to bring about social change. At JFSJ, we carry forward this legacy while we develop new innovative approaches to creating a just, fair, and compassionate America.

Seems to be another socialist front group.

Looks like a run of the mill religion hijacking for profit and power to me.
