  • J Street's Role As a Broker
    J Street’s Role as a Broker: Is J Street Expanding the Reach of the Organized American Jewish Community? Emily Duhovny Senior Honors Thesis Submitted to Organizational Studies University of Michigan Advisor: Michael T. Heaney March 11, 2011 1 Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor Michael Heaney for inspiring me to write a thesis and for working with me every step of the way. Since our first meeting in the fall of 2009, Michael has been a remarkable mentor. In his lab group, he introduced me to the methods of organizational studies and political science research. In his classroom, he engaged my class on interest group politics and inspired me to select a thesis topic connected to interest groups. Now, as my faculty mentor for my senior honors thesis, he has dedicated many hours assisting me and answering my myriad of questions. I am especially grateful for the times when he pushed me to take responsibility for my work by encouraging me to be confident enough to make my own decisions. I would also like to thank my family and friends who have learned more about J Street and the American Jewish community then they ever could have possibly wanted to know. I especially want to thank my parents and Grandma Ruth for their love and support. Thank you to my dad, who has taught me that it is better to “think big” and risk failure than to not have tried at all. He has not only been a great sounding board, but also has challenged me to defend my views.

  • NEW POLL: Majority of American Jews Support Iran Nuclear Deal
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 28, 2015 CONTACT: Jessica Rosenblum, [email protected], 202.448.1600/202.279.0005 (m) NEW POLL: Majority of American Jews Support Iran Nuclear Deal WASHINGTON—The majority of American Jews support the Iran nuclear deal and do so at a higher rate than Americans as a whole, according to a new poll. The poll, conducted by Jim Gerstein of GBA Strategies and released today by J Street, finds that 60 percent of American Jews support the agreement reached between the P5+1 and Iran. This, as compared to the 56 percent of American adults who backed the deal when asked the exact same question in a July 20 Washington Post-ABC poll. “These results make clear that American Jews overwhelmingly support this deal and see this diplomatic agreement as the best way to keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon,” says J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami. “The numbers just go to show—once again— that the pundits and those who speak most loudly on behalf of the Jewish community are flat- out wrong in their presumption that Jewish Americans are hawkish on Iran or regarding U.S. policy in the Middle East in general.” The full survey, crosstabs and analysis can be found here. As a fierce battle over the deal between pro-Israel advocacy organizations takes shape on Capitol Hill, American Jews want their Members of Congress to approve the agreement by the same 20-point margin, 60 to 40 percent. Support for the agreement cuts across demographic groups. There is broad and, in most cases, majority support for the agreement across the Jewish community, regardless of age, gender, region, Jewish organizational engagement and knowledge of the issue.

Ukraine, the location of this study case, is an ex•Soviet country of about 48 million citizens with 100 ethnic nationalities. Members of the Jewish Faith form one of those ethnic groups.
