Rejoice, Reflect, Renew

This year, Reform congregations in North America have a unique opportunity to deepen their connection to Israel and to rethink how Israel is expressed within our communities. In the spring of 2008/5768, we will mark 60 years of renewed Jewish sovereignty in Israel, and celebrate our Movement’s Zionist activity after 50 years of NFTY in Israel and the 30th anniversary of ARZA.

Join the Reform Movement as we:

  • REJOICE on the sacred occasion of Israel’s 60th year of independence
  • REFLECT on our loving, and at times complex, relationships with Israel
  • RENEW our connections to Israel and the greater Jewish People

How is the Reform Movement celebrating? See the list of Events, Programs, and Publications between now and next summer.
