Israel-Diaspora Trust
The Israel Diaspora Trust was created in 1984 by the late Rabbi Sidney Brichto.
The charity's objects are 'to advance education in matters relating to the history, government, law, administration, politics, economics, religion, sociology, literature, language and culture of the Jewish people situated both in Israel and throughout the Diaspora'.
Over the years it has invited to speak at its meetings many leading Zionist thinkers and it has extensive ties with the neo-conservative think tank Henry Jackson Society. It is partially funded by foundations, such as the Charles Wolfson Charitable Trust and the Lewis Family Trust, that are linked to Zionist and conservative thinks tanks.
