CIJR's Academic Council

CIJR has earned broad community and international legitimacy. Prof. Frederick Krantz is the Institute's well-known Director. Community leader Irwin Beutel is Chairman of our National Board (Charles Lazarus, Dr. William Bilek and Aaron Remer are Past Chairmen). Board members include Thomas O.

It includes international figures like UN Ambassador Dan Gillerman, General Moshe Ya'alon and recent Canadian Hadassah-WIZO president Naomi Frankenburg (Vancouver).
