The Anti-Defamation League has named a successor to longtime national director Abe Foxman.
The Jewish civil rights organization has chosen 43-year-old White House aide Jonathan Greenblatt for the job. Foxman is retiring next July after nearly three decades leading the New York-based advocacy group.
The ADL announced the appointment Thursday at a meeting in Los Angeles, and praised Greenblat’s lifelong commitment to Jewish social causes, and his relationship to ADL.
“I’m confident that ADL will continue to thrive and grow under Jonathan’s leadership and I look forward to working with him to ensure a successful and smooth transition,” Foxman said in a statement.
Greenblatt has served on the White House Domestic Policy Council, helping oversee community service programs such as AmeriCorps. He is a co-founder of Ethos Brands, a premium bottled water company that helps support clean water programs worldwide.
He is the grandson of a Holocaust survivor who fled Nazi Germany. Greenblatt graduated from Tufts University and the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He will take over as ADL national director in July.
Mr. Curtiss-Lusher, the ADL’s National Chair said “Jonathan brings to ADL an impressive track record of leadership in both the nonprofit and for-profit sectors and a deep and abiding commitment to our mission of combating anti-Semitism and defending the civil rights of all people.”
At the White House, Greenblatt serves as director of the Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation in the Domestic Policy Council, where his portfolio includes national service, civic engagement, impact investing and social enterprise.
Greenblatt interned for the ADL while in college at Tufts University and later participated in an ADL professional leadership program.

Greenblatts family ‘survived the Holocaust’,by’fleeing Nazi Germany’. When ‘they left’,I assure you,nobody was being ‘Holocausted’. See the play on words for the bozos out their? The Third Reich wanted them to go ! The “Final Solution”,which was detention for SOME,not all,began in 1942-when the Jew, USA entered the war,and Germany could no longer send anyone abroad of course. People better learn their history,and geography-or the Jews will continue the swindle.
Well,well,the USA’s premier private spy organization,allied with HOMELAND SECURITY,has a new young leader! WOW…let all all give him a Bronx Cheer ! Blahhhhh. Abe Foxmans thirty years sure were eventful-let us all cheer him the same ! He had truth telling books banned,and hobby stores take collectables,novelties,and kits taken off the shelves -of German Models,and games. Swastikas know longer are allowed on history books,or the tails of historic planes ! NASA was told to dump honors for the Pennemunde team,which reached the moon,and TV programs were monitored too !Foxmans tactics are right out of 1984:Black,is white,and night is day. “Jews do NOT OWN HOLLYWOOD”.saying so ,would get you fired,by Foxman. “Jews have no POWER-in banking,business,Wall Street,or foreign policy”.”AIPAC does NOT exist!”. Now repeat that ,over,and over,than add:”6 TRILLION JEWS WERE BAKED IN OVENS PERSONALLY BY ADOLF HITLER IN WW2,while his Eva watched in glee”. Good ! Now you are all good patriots.
