Israel at 60
Rejoice, Reflect, Renew
This year, Reform congregations in North America have a unique opportunity to deepen their connection to Israel and to rethink how Israel is expressed within our communities. In the spring of 2008/5768, we will mark 60 years of renewed Jewish sovereignty in Israel, and celebrate our Movement’s Zionist activity after 50 years of NFTY in Israel and the 30th anniversary of ARZA.
Join the Reform Movement as we:
- REJOICE on the sacred occasion of Israel’s 60th year of independence
- REFLECT on our loving, and at times complex, relationships with Israel
- RENEW our connections to Israel and the greater Jewish People
How is the Reform Movement celebrating? See the list of Events, Programs, and Publications between now and next summer.
THE HIGHLIGHT:
Movement-wide Israel at 60 Weekend - MAY 9-11, 2008
We have created exciting programming materials for all ages for study, reflection, and of course, celebration. Use them for the holiday weekend and beyond. A hard copy and the "Our Israel" DVD will be sent to participating congregations. Weekend Program Guide
