The #funeral service is set to be held at Park Avenue #synagogue in #NewYorkCity on Tuesday and will be live-streamed.
The #ADL mourned the passing of #Foxman, who served as the organization's head from 1987 until 2015, after which he was succeeded by Jonathan Greenblatt and assumed an emeritus role.
“#America and the #Jewish people have lost a moral voice, a passionate advocate for the Jewish people and the state of Israel, and a remarkable leader,” Greenblatt said of his predecessor in a Sunday statement.
“Abe Foxman was an iconic Jewish leader who embraced the ideal of an America free from #antisemitism and hate and who strongly believed that these scourges could be defeated if good people opposed it.”
