		Defenders of JCPA, formerly known as the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, or "Nacrac," counter that the organization's role is to represent the views of the entire Jewish community, and not merely those of the UJC, its constituent local federations or the philanthropists who support them.
		The joint committee charged with evaluating the performance of JCPA and drafting the current plan was formed this past spring, in response to the New York and Chicago complaints.
		While the plan still calls for JCPA to serve as the Jewish community's "common table," it states that the organization's annual public-policy plenum, often seen as the embodiment of that common table, be held less frequently.

		By Tuesday morning, JCPA members were lobbying on Capitol Hill for the aid package, with the council's executive director making a direct appeal to Senator Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky Republican who chairs the foreign appropriations subcommittee that must approve the plan.
		JCPA officials recently expressed concerns that some of their UJC funding might be in jeopardy because of these tensions.
		This year, JCPA did approve resolutions calling for sanctions on the Sudanese government in an effort to stop the killing in Darfur, deploring economic sanctions against Israel or companies doing business with Israel, and supporting the granting of asylum to women who are victims of gender violence.

		Even some JCPA members have sheepishly admitted that they are not prepared to lobby for state or federal authorities to adopt their resolution.
		While I respect the JCPA majority’s devotion to their principles, it shows these people are clearly more comfortable fighting the political battles of the 1940s than in dealing with our current needs.
		Nor is it appropriate for JCPA members to defend their stance by saying they support the idea of fully funding day schools from Jewish communal resources alone.

		BALTIMORE — In a stinging critique of the main international Jewish body that oversees Holocaust restitution funds, delegates to the annual meeting of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs called in a resolution Monday for "all funds" collected on behalf of Holocaust survivors to be disbursed solely to aid needy survivors.
		The resolution was adopted at the annual plenum of JCPA, a policy consultation body composed of 13 national Jewish organizations and 123 local community relations councils.
		With an expected war with Iraq looming and the situation in Israel as tenuous as it was when last year's plenum convened, the intensity of the debate over the use of the funds took many Jewish organization officials at the plenum by surprise.

		JCPA insiders say it could attain the two-thirds necessary to bring it to the floor but if the measure passed, it would almost certainly be vetoed by the Orthodox Union.
		Stern said JCPA positions on church-state issues are being driven by “groups with a policy of secularism,” while a growing segment of the Jewish community is interested in the intersection of faith and public policy.
		But other JCPA watchers say the group’s church-state positions have shifted away from strict separation because of the growing influence of Orthodox groups as well as by community leaders who worry that Jewish church-state positions could leave their groups out in the cold when faith-based government money is being doled out.

		The JCPA leaders, in these two respects, are situated where one would expect in light of the levels and directions of results among the Jewish public.
		JCPA leaders, as compared with the Jewish public, are much more religious, more decidedly in the liberal camp, less concerned about antisemitism, and rather outspoken in their support for the legitimacy of religious influence and participation in the public square.
		That JCPA leaders also adopt these positions, in light of their own high levels of Jewish involvement, is not at all that surprising.

		It could complicate things for a JCPA leadership that is trying to protect itself from the wrath of big communal givers who complain the agency is too willing to wade into controversial social issues, too liberal and too willing to challenge Bush administration policies.
		At JCPA, a resolution on the proposed Senate rule change to bar Democrats from filibustering judicial nominations was withdrawn despite widespread support among delegates.
		JCPA has been criticized by some for being too liberal, but its record is generally one that reflects the American Jewish majority, while giving voice to dissenting opinions.

		But now the JCPA is increasingly challenged by the United Jewish Communities and several powerful local federations.

		When it was called on the carpet for advocating rescission of the past two years' tax cuts, the JCPA de-emphasized that part of its plank.

	JCPA: Palestinian sources confirm no massacre in Jenin
		Jonathan D. HaLevi and the JCPA from a wide and comprehensive variety of Palestinian written testimony and material which was published recently in Palestinian newspapers, books and Websites, reveals for the first time that Palestinian terror organizations saw themselves as armed combatants and not as civilians who died in a deadly massacre.
		The study refutes claims by PA leaders at the time that IDF forces were attacking innocent civilians and that the only Palestinians who had perished in the battle of Jenin were innocent, unarmed Palestinian men, women and children.
		The JCPA paper states that civilians were intentionally used as human shields and that both women and children were deployed by Fatah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad to divert IDF troops into ambushes and booby-trapped areas.

		Typically at the JCPA plenum, Jewish communal leadership hammers out resolutions on U.S.-focused issues—in this case, a moratorium on the death penalty (in favor), child labor and sweatshops (against), and President Bush's faith-based social service initiative (adamantly opposed).
		And while JCPA often passes resolutions supporting efforts for peace, democracy, and Jewish-Arab cooperation in Israel, Rosenthal says, this year the bloodshed in the Middle East pushed the Jewish state to the center of discussions.
		At the JCPA town hall meeting, panelists from the conservative leadership of the Conference of Presidents and other organizations emphasized the need to counter media reports that promote public sympathy for Palestinians—as if such sympathy were unwarranted and by definition inconsistent with sympathy for Israeli victims of violence.
