- National Yiddish Book Center
- The National Yiddish Book Center is a vibrant, non-profit organization working to rescue Yiddish and other modern Jewish books and celebrate the culture they contain. Supported by 30,000 members, we are now the largest and fastest-growing Jewish cultural organization in America. The National Yiddish Book Center was founded in 1980 by MacArthur Fellow Aaron Lansky, who continues to lead the organization as its president. When he was a 23-year-old graduate student, Lansky stumbled upon an alarming fact: throughout North America, thousands of priceless Yiddish books – books that had survived Hitler and Stalin – were being discarded and destroyed. As an older generation passed on, more often than not their precious Jewish volumes were literally thrown in the trash by children and grandchildren unable to read the language. An entire literature was on the verge of extinction.

- NORPAC
- NORPAC is a non-partisan political action committee whose primary purpose is to support candidates and sitting members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives who demonstrate a genuine commitment to the strength, security, and survival of Israel. One component of this support is financial in nature as funding is often of critical importance to the ultimate success of a candidate’s campaign. Perhaps of equal – or even greater importance – is the organizational as well as personal support that NORPAC and its members provide. This support can range from providing education on a particular issue of the day to merely providing the emotional assurance that a public position taken is appreciated within our community.

- North American Federation of Temple Brotherhoods
- Hinei Matov - 'How good it is' when brothers come together and celebrate! It was in this spirit that on January 23, 1923, sixty five Reform Jewish brotherhoods and men's clubs came together at the Hotel Astor in New York City to form The North American Federation of Temple Brotherhoods. The mission of NFTB was the same then as it is today: to encourage local brotherhoods to engage in projects and activities that provide meaningful services to their congregation; to sponsor and promote vitally important nationwide community-building projects; and to give local brotherhood members the opportunity to explore and celebrate their male Jewish spirit.
