built 630 days ago
Reports that Leviev was an Oxfam donor first appeared in sources such as Women's Wear Daily, Lifestyles Magazine, and on the website of the Federation of Jewish Communities of the CIS of which Leviev is the President. Oxfam stated in conversations with Adalah-NY that it had conducted extensive searches of its records and confirmed that such reports are incorrect.

Guest speaker at Sunday night’s banquet session of the International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch was Mr. Lev Leviev. An estimated 4,300 guests were seated in the hall at Pier 94. Among them were lay leaders and Chabad-Lubavitch Shluchim representing Jewish communities worldwide.

Leviev "has a lot of money in and has real accomplishments; his buildings and schools are real," says the official, who asked not to be identified. "Those who are on his side will welcome his role, while those on the other side will feel he´s a divisive force. But a lot of" FEOR´s success "is tied to the politics of the country, which in the long run can´t be good for the Jewish community."

I’ve done some research on Leviev & he claims he donates $50 million per yr. to Jewish charity, which is approx. three-quarters of one percent (.65%) of his net worth, a miserably low number. It’s no wonder his PR flacks have to make up donations he’s given.

Leviev hasn't. The 51-year-old philanthropist gives an estimated $50 million to Jewish causes each year, Chafets writes, and "subsidizes an army of some 10,000 Jewish functionaries from Ukraine to Azerbaijan, including 300 rabbis."

Leviev gathered the community and offered to subsidize a Jewish education for hundreds of students. When he investigated the issue... he found that the problem wasn´t a lack of Jewish schools, but their low quality.
