New Jewish Agenda (Organization)

The New Jewish Agenda (N.J.A.) was a national Jewish organization (1980-1992) that had more than forty chapters. It saw itself as a "Jewish voice among progressives" and a "progressive voice among Jews." Based on its commitment to the Talmudic precept of "Tikun Olam" --the just reordering of society--the N.J.A. took positions in support of: economic and social justice; feminism, including women's reproductive rights; peace in the Middle East, including self-determination for both Israelis and the Palestinians; a worldwide nuclear freeze; and non-intervention in Central America. It also thought that Jewish gays should be accorded equal rights within the larger Jewish community.
