Reform Zionism:In Search of Clarity joins ARZA's previous curriculum, One Heart, Two Homes: Israel and the Sacred Identity of American Jews, as an important educational resource helping Reform congregations and their members understand their own relationships to the Land and State of Israel. ARZA mailed very URJ congregation a free printed copy of this curriculum when it came out. In an age of both environmental and budgetary concerns, ARZA also wants to make the curriculum available to download (and print if you choose). We would be glad to send you a digital copy. Please e-mail skarol@arza.org to receive yours today. |

The Reform Israel Experience: A Guide to Programs and Organizations to Engage with Israel As the organization in the Movement dedicated to connecting Reform Jews and Israel, ARZA strives to bring Israel into the hearts and minds of every member of our community. One of the ways we do this is by gathering all the opportunities to engage with Israel and showcasing them at the Reform Israel Experience at the Biennial of the Union for Reform Judaism. ARZA created this guide in order to encapsulate the Reform Israel Experience in an easy-to-use encyclopedia of programs and organizations geared toward Reform Jews and Israel. We also hope this will be a useful tool for those who were unable to attend the Biennial and need to have the Reform Movement's Israel resources in one place. The guide is organized into four themes: - Connect: This section presents the organizations that connect Reform Jews and Israel. These organizations help their members take the initial step in deepening their relationship with Israel through culture, social action, religion, travel, fundraising and more. - Explore: This section presents programs that will get you to Israel and enable you to see, touch, taste and soak up everything Israel has to offer in ways you can only experience by being there. These programs offer opportunities to study, tour or volunteer, for people of all ages and experiences. - Act: This section presents programs that reflect a commitment to Israel activism, in Israel and here in North America. These resources will help you put Reform values into action by organizing people to take action on behalf of Israel. - Live: In recent years, Aliyah has returned as an important concern to the Reform Movement. This section will help you take the next step toward spending a part of your life in Israel. We hope this guide will be helpful on your journey to finding your way to all Israel has to offer Reform Jews. Please take this information beyond the Biennial and share it with others as an important resource. We at ARZA encourage you to experience Israel personally as a Jew, friend, advocate, family member, student, teacher---which ever way is most meaningful to you.
