1) The John Birch Society has had Jewish leaders on its National Council from the day it was founded, starting with Alfred Kohlberg, a prominent Jewish businessman. Another prominent Jew who served in the John Birch Society's leadership was David Eisenberg, who was appointed to the National Council in 1995 and served until his death in 2015. Today Andy Dlinn, a prominent Jewish Republican leader from Pennsylvania, serves on the National Council. Dr. Sam Blumenfeld, another Jewish leader, was involved with the Society for many decades and actually worked for it. So passionate was Dr. Blumenfeld about the work of the JBS that, together with other Jewish Birchers such as Alan Stang and Holocaust survivor Georgia Gabor, he helped create the Jewish Society of Americanists in 1966.
