Reform Jews For Israel

“If you will it, it is not a dream!’  -Theodore Herzl

There are many forms of Zionism: religious, political, etc.  At its core, Zionism is the belief, the movement that supports Jews and Jewish culture in the reestablished Jewish homeland called Israel. As part of the historical development of Zionism, an organization called the American Zionist Movement (AZM) was created.  Currently, it is holding elections to determine US Jewish representation to the World Zionist Congress (WZC), the highest legislative body of the World Zionist Organization (WZO). What this does is provides a forum for all the world’s Jews to come together and deliberate about issues affecting both Diaspora Jews and the state of affairs in Israel.

There are 145 seats in the Congress dedicated to the AZM. Its composition has both financial and policy implications in Israel, as resources are directed to recipients in Israel based on the power each party holds within the Congress, and the policy positions of those parties.

In short, these elections are the strongest way for American Reform Jews to promote and encourage the ideals of justice, equality and democracy in Israel itself and help build the kind of Jewish state we all know is possible.  What can you do? REGISTER & VOTE! RIGHT NOW!

It is in our power to create an Israel that values the Reform Jewish Movement as much as the Reform Jewish Movement values Israel.

This is the time. Tomorrow will be too late. Let’s make history.
