The Russell Berrie Foundation is a philanthropic organization which seeks to "promote the continuity and enrichment of Jewish communal life," foster "the spirit of religious understanding and pluralism," and "raising the awareness of terrorism and promoting its prevention."[1] A report by the Center for American Progress has linked RBF to the promotion of anti-Islamic hysteria in the United States.[2]
