National Council of Jewish Women: what Wikipedia removed

The National Council of Jewish Women, founded in 1893, describes itself as the oldest Jewish women’s grassroots organization in the United States. Through 2010 the opening listed among its founding-era causes “religious education, opposition to anti-Semitism, international relief work, civil rights for blacks and women.” Today the opening lists only its modern priorities, abortion access, judicial appointments, voting integrity, and Israeli feminist movements, and the word survives once in the body. A reader today does not learn that opposing antisemitism was once named among the organization’s historic missions in its own opening description.

The word “antisemitism” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 1. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
