JFSJ appears prominently in a recent Religion News Service article that asks, “Is the Tea Party Unbiblical?”

The article -- written by Alfredo Garcia and picked up by the Huffington Post, Washington Post, and Beliefnet, among others – credits JFSJ as an organization that  has “helped fuel the progressive backlash against [Glenn] Beck.”

Here’s a teaser of the article:

And the Bible, and particularly the Hebrew prophets, are also firm on need to protect the vulnerable, which sometimes requires government action, said Simon Greer, president and CEO of the Jewish Funds for Justice, which helped fuel the progressive backlash against Beck.

Greer said his New York-based group is founded on "the fundamental religious call to care for others," which in turn is based "on the belief that we're all made in the image of the divine."
