The Jewish Peace Fellowship is a nonprofit, nondenominational organization set up to provide a Jewish voice in the peace movement. The organization was founded in 1941 in order to support Jewish conscientious objectors who sought exemption from combatant military service.[1][2] The JPF is currently headquartered in Nyack, New York.[3]

The fellowship is a branch member of the International Fellowship of Reconciliation.[4]

The JPF produces literature about peacemaking, nonviolent activism, and registering as a conscientious objector.[5][6] The Jewish Peace Fellowship maintains its archive at the American Jewish Historical Society/Center for Jewish History in NYC
