Message from the Reform Jewish Movement About Israel

As the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) writes, “We believe that Kol yisrael arevim zeh ba’zeh (Shevuot 39a), ‘All of Israel and the Jewish people are responsible, one for the other.’ We are committed to the safety and vitality of the Jewish people and to a secure and just state of Israel as a home – for all Jews and for all its inhabitants.”
