4) Leadership
Education has always been placed at the top Jewish priorities. However, Talmud Torah can only be weighed against all the Torah's Mitzvoth on the condition that it is both teleologically as well as mechanically correct. It's teaching must instill the infinite wisdom that the Holy One, blessed is He, had given over at Sinai through the Prophet Moses. For only through this wisdom we know how to act as Jews.

Despite the abundance of Jewish educational facilities today, few conceptually understand the true Jewish Idea. Hence, the catastrophic state of affairs that has come about as a natural development of conceptually unsound or incomplete teachings -- no real leadership and consequently, no real followers.

JEFI can, through the abilities of its members and supporters, carry the torch forward and light the darkness of a Judaism-starved generation. Change can only come about through the actions of those that see, as well as cognize, their true purpose.


5) B'tzedek Magazine (and internet edition) 1996-1998, 2002-present.

B'tzedek, "The Journal of Responsible Jewish Commentary," conceived by Arno HaKohen Weinstein and Israel Fuchs -- editor and senior editor, respectively -- along with a team of first-rate political thinkers, including, Mordecai Nisan, Steven Plaut and Louis Rene Beres in 1996 set out to provide a platform for authentic Jewish thinking, marginalized, more often than not, by the mainstream media.

As the inside cover of each issue boldly stated:

This journal, though created primarily as a forum for essays and articles which concern the rectification and unification of Jewish thought is, however, open to a wide range of scholarly work on the subjects of Jews and Judaism. The general and glaring absence from public discourse of writings dealing with these topics, particularly in the context of a commonwealth, has brought about the need for such a publication. B'tzedek seeks to serve this end constitute a source of expression from the classical and traditional perspectives. B'tzedek strives to influence and provoke thought regarding the state of Jewry; historically and currently as it expresses Judaism in thought and action, individually and nationalistically.

Though only two years in print, B'tzedek cultivated a dedicated readership worldwide -- from Taiwan to Teaneck, New Jersey, awarded the prestigious MSN Award, and accepted for distribution by New York's Hearst Publications.
