ARZENU, representing the views and aspirations of 1.8 million Reform and Progressive Zionists around the world, feels compelled to speak out against the nomination of Rabbi Eyal Karim as Chief Rabbi of the IDF. It is our strong view that Rabbi Col. Karim’s extremist statements and positions do not conform to the spirit of klal yisrael (Jewish unity), nor do they honour Israel’s soldiers, nor the values of inclusiveness and integration that are the symbols of the IDF.
Specifically, his…

Dear Dalya, Last Thursday, Reform and Conservative leaders organized an egalitarian afternoon prayer service at the Western Wall's main plaza. Five hundred people from around the country came to participate. In the middle of the singing, dozens of ultra-Orthodox boys and men tried to interrupt the service. They… |

On 16 April last, the UNESCO Executive Board adopted a Resolution that is so unilateral as to deny any link between the Jews and Jerusalem, in particular the Wailing Wall, as well as between Christians and Jerusalem.
By failing to recognise the historic link between Judaism and Jerusalem and its spiritual importance for the Jewish People, this Resolution constitutes a deliberate negation of a heritage that affects the Jews in particular and even humanity as a whole since the Holy…

A Cedar of Lebanon has fallen. We mourn the death of Rabbi Bob Samuels, a visionary, a dedicated Zionist and a pioneer of Reform Judaism in Israel.
Bob made Aliya in 1962 with his wife and three children, and immediately began to make his imprint on the land and the people. Through his leadership, the Leo Baeck Educational Centre in Haifa was established, which has become a model for integrating Jewish, Arab and Druze communities, along with senior citizens and…

Dear Mr. Herzog,
Please forgive my delay in writing to you. I want to thank you for taking the time to meet with Yaron and me, and to discuss issues of common concern. I feel that we have developed an understanding of how we can work together within the National Institutions to further the values that both our organizations hold dear.
In this regard, I wish to specify one issue, and that is the invective that the Progressive religious streams have been receiving from…

A few days ago I announced I was canceling my membership in the Israeli Union of Performing Artists (EMI), following their decision to present a life time achievement award to the singer/songwriter Ariel Zilber. In order to understand my motivation for this act, and the public outcry that ensued, it is necessary to go back in time.…

The Kotel Will Now Be Open to Everyone!
We rejoice in the good news that the Knesset Cabinet has endorsed the enhancement of the egalitarian prayer space at the Kotel. We express our congratulations and deep gratitude to those who have worked tirelessly to bring this to reality. In particular, we say Yishar Koach to Anat Hoffman of IRAC and Rabbi Gilad Kariv of IMPJ.
Onward and upward from here for…

Even though a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict seems very far away, it is still the only solution that preserves Israel’s democratic and Jewish character, and it is the only solution that will restore Israel’s international standing.
Everything good that Israel is and does, however, is being eclipsed by terror, violence and the contentious issue of West Bank settlements.
The Times of Israel reported this week (“US backs European move to distinguish…

ARZENU, the global organisation representing Reform and Progressive Zionists, expressed disappointment that anti-democratic elements in the Knesset are, once again, seeking to promote provocative and discriminatory legislation that will diminish Israel’s proud record of being a wonderful example of a transparent, open and democratic society.
“The proposed “Transparency Law”…

AUTHENTICITY AND RELEVANCE
“The past belongs to us; we don’t belong to the past.” I heard Amos Oz, the great Israeli writer, say this last Tuesday at a launch of a just published book on the relationship between Hebrew and European literature by Menachem Brinker, one of the stars on Israel’s intellectual firmament.
Implied in this statement are at least two aspects, one of which was articulated at the meeting the other implied in…

On behalf of 1.8 million Jews around the world, ARZENU, the Reform Zionist movement, wholeheartedly condemns the anti-assimilationist group, Lehava, and its leader, Benzi Gopstein when he says “Christians Are 'Blood Sucking Vampires' Who Should Be Expelled From Israel” and that Israel should “remove the vampires before they once again drink our blood.'
“Were the word “Christian” replaced by “Jew” aware in the world, the entire Jewish community would be up in arms, calling on…

ARZENU, the religious Zionist organisation that represents 1.8 million Jews around the world, expresses revulsion and total rejection of the campaign of hatred and incitement that is being carried out by the pseudo-Zionist group, Im Tirtzu. This organisation cloaks itself in the language of Zionism but takes actions that strike at the heart of the Zionist vision of a secure homeland for the Jewish people within a democratic State of…
