Agreement for the Reconstitution of the Jewish Agency of Israel signed on August 27, 1970 by Jewish leaders from around the world. Max Fisher played a key role in the negotiations of the agreement. Said former president of the Council of Jewish Federations, Morton L. Mandel, "Max is a consensus builder - the single most able consensus builder I have ever seen in any form of activity. He's a genius at it. He has the fewest number of enemies of anybody I've ever met. He manages to retain credibility with people whom he does not support on a given cause at a given moment. That's a rare quality. It's what virtually separates him from the world."
