Jonathan Greenblatt’s 2015 takeover of the Anti-Defamation League, the most famous Jewish civil rights group in America, was heralded by ADL supporters and segments of the Jewish press as an exciting shift. Greenblatt, The Forward reported in 2014, was “different in age, background, experience and politics from its outgoing iconic leader [Abe Foxman]” and “embodie[d] the ADL’s wish to open a new era in which young American Jews, currently turned off by the idea of joining membership organizations, will flock back home.”
