Rabbi Daniel R. Allen will join The Jewish Federations of North America as executive vice chairman of United Israel Appeal (UIA) and senior vice president of Supplemental Giving/Israel Education Fund (IEF). Effective in October, Allen will lead the professional team working with the lay leadership of the UIA, IEF and Overseas Supplemental Giving efforts of JFNA.
?
?We are very lucky to have someone of Danny's experience, knowledge and abilities join our organization,? said Bruce Arbit, chair of UIA. ?Danny brings an extensive background and passion for the work our communities and partners do in Israel and around the world.?
?
Allen has significant experience in Jewish communal work, and is a lifelong advocate for the State of Israel. Currently the executive director of ARZA, the Reform Israel Fund, Allen has also served as CEO of the American Friends of Magen David Adom.
?
A dedicated supporter of United Israel Appeal, Allen was executive vice chairman of the UIA during the merger of the UIA, United Jewish Appeal (UJA) and the Council of Jewish Federations into what is today JFNA. He also served as national director of UJA Young Leadership, and has been a member of the Executive at The Jewish Agency for Israel.
?
?As we continue to redefine how Jewish Federations can make an impact in Israeli society, I am delighted to have Rabbi Allen back on our team. He brings a wealth of experience in service to Israel, our Federations and the values for which we stand,? said Jerry Silverman, president and CEO of JFNA.
Ordained at the Hebrew Union College and an honors graduate of the University of Nebraska, Allen is a noted Israel activist and one of the leading experts on American Jewish philanthropy and its impact on Israeli society.
?Our love for Israel is unconditional,? said Allen. ?I am pleased to again have a leadership role that will enhance the work of Jewish Federations and create targeted opportunities to help care for those in need throughout the Jewish State.?
?
The role of executive vice chairman of United Israel Appeal (UIA) and senior vice president of Supplemental Giving/Israel Education Fund (IEF) at JFNA has been vacant since the passing of Yitzchak Shavit, z"l, last year. A generous philanthropist and devoted champion of the Jewish people, Shavit led North American fundraising for the IEF and oversaw donor-directed philanthropy for overseas needs.
