Bnai Brith)
The Independent Order of B'nai B'rith (Hebrew: "Sons of the Covenant") is the oldest continually-operating Jewish service organization in the world. It was founded in New York City by Henry Jones and 11 others on October 13, 1843. The organization is engaged in a wide variety of community service and welfare activities, including the promotion of human rights, assisting hospitals and victims of natural disasters, awarding scholarships to Jewish college students, and opposing racism and anti-semitism through the Anti-Defamation League.
Also, until 2001, B'nai B'rith sponsored the B'nai B'rith Youth Organization (BBYO), which is now BBYO, Inc (http://www.bbyo.org). BBYO is the oldest Jewish youth group (for high schoolers), and is parent organization to the Aleph Zadik Aleph (AZA), a fraternity, and B'nai B'rith Girls (BBG), a sorority.
