ARZA Committee

ARZA’s Mission: ARZA STRENGTHENS AND ENRICHES THE JEWISH IDENTITY OF REFORM JEWS IN THE UNITED STATES BY ENSURING THAT A CONNECTION WITH THE LAND, PEOPLE, AND STATE OF ISRAEL ARE FUNDAMENTAL PARTS OF THAT IDENTITY.

ARZA is dedicated to advancing progressive values in Israel and making Israel a central pillar of Jewish identity for every Reform Jew. ARZA represents the Reform Movement to the Zionist National Institutions, using our position to create a more equal, democratic, and pluralistic Israel. The Jewish State must be a society that reflects the whole Jewish people, with the respect and legitimacy granted to all denominations. We work for acceptance of the Reform Movement, addressing issues of gender equality, civil marriage, conversion, racial justice and much more. These are our values and this is our Homeland.
