TheWorld Zionist Congressis an international body that convenes every five years in Israel. It is comprised of constituent Zionist organizations from around the world. Hadassah is one of the most prominent and well known of these organizations. ARZA (The Association of Reform Zionists of America) is a constituent member of the WZC. The work they do impacts the direction of Israeli society in large part because of the vast budget they oversee which is comprised of charitable donations though such organizations as UJA (United Jewish Appeal).
Their work and decision therefore impact:
Policies that affect the status of Reform Jewry in Israel and millions of Israelis (What synagogues and Yeshivas will get funded?)
Construction projects and with it decisions about West Bank settlement expansion
and this year, investment in communities destroyed on October 7th
We are calling on all friends and members of Temple Micah to vote in these elections. Learn more.
