Abe Foxman: A blunt, warm voice that shaped Jewish public life

Obituary for Abe Foxman, the long‑time ADL leader who died at 86, highlighting his five‑decade tenure steering the ADL, his Holocaust‑born life story, and his blend of sharp political critique with personal warmth. The piece recalls his accessibility and candor with leaders and journalists, his stance on Israel policy and U.S. politics—from criticizing Obama to endorsing Biden in 2020, through later warnings about Netanyahu’s judicial changes and Biden’s Gaza policy—and his enduring influence on American Jewish life, including his weekly Shabbat greetings. Foxman is survived by his wife Golda, son Ariel, daughter Michelle, and four grandchildren.
