The National Coalition Supporting Eurasian Jewry (NCSEJ), formerly the National Council for Soviet Jewry (NCSJ), is an organization in the United States which advocates for the freedoms and rights of Jews in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic States, and Eurasia.
NCSEJ comes out of the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry, which first met in October 1963.
Among those present were Saul Bellow, Martin Luther King Jr., Herbert Lehman, Bishop James Pike, Walter Reuther, Norman Thomas, and Robert Penn Warren.
[3] The organization helped link Jewish emigration to trade restrictions, leading to increase of immigration of Jews from Soviet Union to Israel in the 1970s.
About 250,000 people were there, among them George H. W. Bush, Iosif Begun, Yuli Edelstein, Ida Nudel, and Natan Sharansky.
