Vote Now and Support Reform Jewish Values in Israel
Cast your vote in the World Zionist Organization.  ARZA supports your Reform Jewish values in the State of Israel and your vote will help ensure millions of dollars for the causes we support. Visit https://www.reformjews4israel.org/ to cast your vote.



Mark Hand, a Temple member, relates his experience of voting in the WZO election:  "A call-to-action in support of a continually progressive Israel entered my heart and led me to vote for ARZA delegates to the 37th

World Zionist Congress. I found the link to vote on the Union for Reform Judaism web site. The process was easy. I cast my vote for ARZA -who support gender and religious equality as well as a 2-state solution. Voting gave me the opportunity to have my voice heard; it was an empowering act."
