Description |
|
Alliance Israelite Universelle (All Israel are comrades), first modern international Jewish organization, founded in 1860, centered in Paris. The foundation of the Alliance expressed the renewal of Jewish cohesiveness after a short period of weakening in the second half of the 18th and up to the forties of the 19th century. Its inception was stimulated by ideological trends and political events in the national and international spheres in the second half of the 19th century. The aims of the Alliance, as formulated by Carvallo and Netter (original founder-members)were
(1) "to work everywhere for the emancipation and moral progress of the Jews;
(2) to offer effective assistance to Jews suffering from anti-Semitism; and
(3) to encourage all publications calculated to promote this aim."
The statutes of the Alliance stipulated a typically French centralism. It was to be administered by a central committee of 30 members, located in Paris, elected by the general assembly of all members of the organization. Two-thirds of the central committee had to be Paris residents. Seven formed a quorum. The central committee had to report annually to the general assembly. Regional and local committees everywhere had to transfer their funds to the central committee, or to use part of them locally, with permission of the central committee.
