April 22-28 was ARZA Canada Week. It was a significant week in Israel - with Yom Ha Zikaron to remember those who have made sacrifices for Israel, followed by Yom Ha'atzmaut, the celebration of the creation of the State 64 years ago.

To commemorate these events we have helped sponsor Israel education opportunities in synagogues and are sending out short daily articles on different facets of Reform Zionism.

In addition, I hope you enjoy the brief video from our friends in the Reform Movement in Israel. To see the video, click on the image below.

The Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism currently operates 47 preschools serving over 1,300 preschool children and is affiliated with 50 schools across Israel. We have a track record of success.

The last preschool that ARZA Canada sponsored was in Evan Yehuda. From its start in 2009, the preschool has already reached its maximum capacity with 22 children registered for the upcoming year. Since the preschool’s founding, a core group of families from Even-Yehuda established the town’s first Reform congregation, called “HaShahar”, and they dedicated a synagogue in May 2010. For more about this program and how you can help, please click here.
