The Chamber brings the unique dynamic of the Jewish community economy to the attention of world leaders, and helps them devise policies that would be beneficial. The Chamber has also been at the forefront in the battle against UN anti-Semitism and the BDS movement, which seek to harm Jewish businesses and professionals around the globe.

The Chamber also led a trailblazing “U.S.-Israel Business Alliance” mission to Israel along with former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and dozens of other dignitaries, which included an internationally publicized Knesset symposium attended by a dozen prominent MKs, and a VIP business networking dinner at the King David Hotel.

History

The Chamber’s predecessor, “Parnassah Network,” was founded by New Jersey businessman Duvi Honig in 2009, during the peak of the economic downturn. Duvi, an ambitious young entrepreneur, had built up an impressive real estate portfolio, only to find himself deeply in the red as a result of the crisis. 

Duvi recognized that it was time to form an innovative networkwith innovative resources, in sync with a fast-changing economy, that would create economic opportunity for those at all economic levels and stages in life. With incredible energy and determination, Duvi and his team have propelled the Chamber into the powerhouse it is today.
