The Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism

- Emergency Campaign

The Israel movement for Progressive Judaism, and its legal and advocacy arm are facing life under a government which will not recognise and support them. IMPJ writes:

...due to the anti-Reform views of the new government and its ministers the Israel Reform Movement stands to lose more than $1.5 million in government funding. These programs provide critical support for rabbis and congregational activities, educational programs, and assistance to new immigrants, including many from Ukraine and Russia.

We are facing new obstacles daily, but we will prevail and continue to fight and stand up for an Israel that is a democratic state for all Jewish people and all its citizens.

...we need your support to carry us through this challenging period, and increase our growth and impact on Israeli society despite the barriers being built by our detractors.
