Service

Referred to as the “dean of American Jewry,” Max M. Fisher’s service to the American Jewish community and in helping return educated Jews to Israel were rivaled only by his ability to raise money and build consensus. He served in top leadership roles for a vast array of Jewish organizations including the Council of Jewish Federations, Jewish Agency for Israel, the United Jewish Appeal and many others. He was focused for decades on helping Jews from the Soviet Union, North Africa and Eastern Europe emigrate to Israel. He used his political contacts, his fundraising expertise and his boundless energy to help millions of Jews relocate to Israel.
