Leadership is Local.

And It Begins With

YOU

Leadership is Local.

And It Begins With YOU.

Your Federation didn’t show up when your child was harassed.

Your rabbi told you not to make waves.

But you knew it was antisemitism.

You’re not crazy — you’re just not supported.

That’s why JLP exists: to build fearless Jewish leadership that defends our people and America’s future.

Our Strategy: The Four Pillars

(these could be visual columns)

Go on Offense — Confront antisemitic lies head-on, expose institutional failures, and reframe the fight as America’s fight.
Empower Communities — Train and mobilize grassroots leaders — parents, students, professionals — to act locally with strength.
Build Alliances — Unite with Americans of every background who share a commitment to freedom, justice, and democracy.
Develop Courageous Leadership — Cultivate a new generation unafraid to speak truth and take decisive action.

These pillars guide everything we do. Your partnership ensures that JLP is not just a watchdog of failed leadership, but a builder of a confident Jewish future — and a stronger America.

The Evolution of Jewish American Leadership

Past:

Jewish leadership was once intensely local — the rabbi was your coach, your counselor, your teacher. Shtetl life offered cohesion. When Jews came to America, we corporatized. ADL and Federations fought the threats of the day: right-wing antisemitism, Leo Frank’s lynching, assimilation. These organizations were essential — in the past.

Present:

Today, those legacy organizations run outdated software. They advocate for immigration but ignore Jewish school bullying. They push genocide education while erasing Jewish specificity. They’re beholden to institutional donors and slow to confront left-wing antisemitism and radical Islamism.

Future:

Jewish leadership must become local again. Leadership begins at the Shabbat table, not a Manhattan boardroom. JLP can lead this shift — not a bureaucracy, but a builder of real, scalable, customized support for individuals and intergenerational communities ready to act.

Is your rabbi preaching politics more than parsha?

Holocaust education without Jews? You’re not imagining it.

Sick of being told to stay quiet? Good. That means you’re ready to lead.

It’s Time to Answer the Call

Leadership isn’t national — it’s personal. And it begins with you.
