Abraham Henry Foxman (born 1940) is the current National Director and chairman of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.
Born in Poland to Jewish parents, Abraham Henry Foxman is the only son of Joseph and Helen Foxman.[1]
Foxman's father supported Vladimir Jabotinsky, founder of Revisionist Zionism. As a young man Foxman belonged to several Zionist youth groups including Betar, the Jabotinsky youth movement, the left-wing Habonim and the apolitical Young Judaea. [2]
Foxman immigrated to the United States in 1950 with his parents.[1][2] He graduated from Yeshivah of Flatbush, in Brooklyn, New York. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the City College of New York and graduated with honors in history. Foxman also holds a law degree from the New York University School of Law. He did graduate work in Jewish studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and in international economics at New York's New School University.
Foxman has worked for the Anti-Defamation League since 1965. The ADL promoted him to National Director in 1987 after the death of long-time National Director Nathan Perlmutter. Foxman has adopted liberal policies at the ADL, supporting the ill-fated Oslo Accords. Throughout his tenure he has obtained meetings with many world leaders, including past U.S. Presidents, current President George W. Bush, many Middle Eastern leaders, Nelson Mandela, and Pope John Paul II.
