ARZA Canada Rabbinic Council

ARZA Canada's Rabbinic Council is comprised of Reform Rabbis committed to strengthening the relationship between their colleagues and Israel and their congregants and Israel. The advancement of Reform Zionism and knowledge of Israel in North America will help fulfill ARZA's mission to aid in creating an Israeli pluralistic society so that all Jews have a voice.
Membership in the Rabbinic Council is one critical way a rabbi can demonstrate his or her commitment to Israel. Whether a rabbi serves a large urban congregation or a small rural congregation, as a member, the rabbi can participate in high-level conference calls with leading Israeli experts and scholars join unique missions to Israel, receive critical updates regarding the social, economic and political issues in Israel and the IMPJ (Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism). An important collegial component of the Rabbinic Council is the sharing of Israel and Reform Zionism programs and sermons.
 
All that and more enhances the rabbis ability to teach, preach and communicate to their congregants and community regarding the ever-changing situation in Israel and the importance which Israel holds within our souls and our Reform Movement. The Rabbinic Council is committed to furthering the mission of ARZA Canada and strengthening the bond between Reform Jews and Israel.
