Days of Challenge

In 60-plus years of active public life, Jacob Stein has won the respect and friendship of Presidents, Prime Ministers, kings, and political and religious leaders from around the world.

From the time he was a surprise choice as Acting Chairman for the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, through his time spent as a White House advisor and liaison to the Jewish public, Stein has stood at the forefront of most of the struggles and triumphs of American and world Jewry throughout the second half of the 20th century.

Admired by friends and opponents alike for his unfailing integrity and dedication, Stein assumed personal responsibility for the welfare of the Jewish community in America, Israel, and throughout the world.

With a humble attitude and committed vision, Stein remained steadfast through periods of harsh criticism, his calming influence and balanced approaches proving successful against adversaries.
