American Jewish Alternatives to Zionism (AJAZ) was a Jewish anti-Zionist organization which was founded by the Reform Rabbi Elmer Berger.




History


AJAZ was founded by the Reform Rabbi Elmer Berger in 1968. Berger served as the president and chief spokesperson of AJAZ until his death in 1996. Berger created AJAZ as an anti-Zionist successor to the American Council for Judaism (ACJ), a Classical Reform organization with a history of anti-Zionism. AJAZ had a small membership, mostly composed of supporters of the ACJ. The Near Eastern and Jewish studies scholar Jonathan Marc Gribetz has characterized AJAZ as a "one-man organization" lead by Berger.
Historical records from AJAZ are held in the collections of the American Jewish Historical Society in Manhattan.
