Israeli Reform Movement Needs Your Support

Israeli Reform Movement on the Brink
The fall of the U.S. dollar in the last few months put the IMPJ, the Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism, into a financial crisis. With more than 30 percent of its funding lost to the decline in the dollar, the IMPJ has had to lay off half its staff and has drastically cut back on its operations. We need your help to support the vibrant, growing and proud Israeli Reform Movement.

Israel at 60: ARZA's Tribute!

Israel at 60, ARZA at 30: In the spring of 2008/5768, we marked the beginning of the 60th year of Jewish sovereignty in the Land and State of Israel. As Reform Jews, we also celebrated our Movement’s 30 years of Zionist activity with the 30th anniversary of ARZA.
