Morton A. Klein is National President of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the oldest pro-Israel group in the U.S. founded in 1897. The Wall Street Journal called the ZOA "heroic and the most credible advocate for Israel on the American Jewish scene today" and added that we should "snap a salute to those who were right about Oslo and Arafat all along... including Morton Klein who was wise, brave, and unflinchingly honest... and when the history of the American Jewish struggle in these years is written, Mr. Klein will emerge as an outsized figure."
Mr. Klein is widely regarded as one of the leading Jewish activists in the United States. In acknowledgement of his successful activism, "The Forward," a national Jewish weekly, named him one of the top five Jewish leaders in the U.S. today, stating "it's impossible to deny that Klein has been extraordinarily effective." The Philadelphia Jewish Exponent named him one of the top dozen "Jewish activists of the century." The NY Jewish Week (largest Federation paper) has named him one of the top ten Jewish leaders who have made a difference. The Jewish Press recently stated "Morton Klein is one of the best minds in this country." The Jerusalem Post has called the ZOA, "one of the most important and influential groups in the U.S. today."
His successful campaigns against anti-Israel bias in leading textbooks, travel guides, universities, churches, and the media, as well as his work on Capitol Hill, were the subject of many feature stories both here and in Israel. He has been invited to testify before the Israeli Knesset and the US Congress, including the US House International Relations Committee.
Mr. Klein is widely quoted and more than 300 of his articles and letters have been published in newspapers, magazines, and scientific journals around the world. He has appeared on TV and radio in the US and in Israel and has delivered over 400 lectures throughout the world at many top universities and academies. He has spoken at large corporations, federations & synagogues from coast to coast. He is a member of the speaker's bureau of the Federation's United Jewish Communities (UJC), Israel Bonds, and B'nai B'rith. He is also a member of the executive Committee of AIPAC and a member of the international Board of Governors of the College of Judea and Samaria in Ariel, Israel.
He served as an economist in the Nixon, Ford, and Carter Administrations and has served as a consultant/biostatistician to UCLA School of Public Health and the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine in Palo Alto, California, having worked closely with two-time Nobel Laureate, Linus Pauling. He was a lecturer in mathematics and statistics at Temple University. Mr. Klein is married to Rita, has a daughter Rachael, a graduate of Barnard College and graduate student in Economics.
