Jewish Federations Statement on Passing of Barney Frank z"l

Jewish Federations of North America mourn the passing of Barney Frank z"l, a trailblazing public servant whose decades of leadership helped shape a more just, inclusive, and equitable America. Deeply grounded in Jewish values and traditions, Congressman Frank brought a profound sense of moral responsibility to public life, guided by the belief that government has an obligation to protect the vulnerable and strengthen the fabric of society. 


His legacy of leadership, sharp wit, and unwavering commitment to justice will endure far beyond his years in office. We extend our deepest condolences to his husband, family, friends, former colleagues, and all who were touched by his extraordinary life and career.
