From NOW through March 11, 2020, American Jews can vote online in the election for the 38th World Zionist Congress and impact the Jewish future in Israel and around the world.
More than a dozen slates representing the diversity of thought, opinion and cultural identity of the American Jewish community are running. The slates, comprised of over 1,800 candidates, will vie for 152 American seats at the 38th World Zionist Congress in October 2020 in Jerusalem, where they will make decisions about the priorities and direction of important international bodies including the World Zionist Organization, Jewish National Fund and the Jewish Agency for Israel and the allocation of nearly $1 billion annually in support for Israel and world Jewry.
The power of small Jewish communities is being felt across the United States and in Israel through our participation in the World Zionist Congress election when we vote for the Reform/ARZA slate. Small congregations comprise more than 64% of the congregations affiliated with the URJ and have a voting power of more than 61,196 households. If just one person from every household voted, the small congregations of the URJ would double the number of votes received five years ago that resulted in more than 20 million dollars going to Reform causes, Reform congregations being established in Israel and election of organizational leaders who are collaborating on matters of conversion, marriage and divorce, gender rights and recognition of all Jews in their homeland. Please vote and have members of your household vote.
Cast a ballot for the future of Israel and the diaspora.
AND SIGN-UP TO VOTE.

Book Group Meeting
Thursday, March 12
7PM

The Book Group will be discussing,
The Library Book, by Susan Orlean. Her latest book is a wide-ranging, deeply personal and terrifically engaging investigation of humanity's bulwark against oblivion: the library. At the center of
The Library Book is a seven-hour fire that raged through the Los Angeles Central Library on April 29, 1986, destroying or damaging more than a million books. In one of those weird coincidences that Orlean always manages to spot, a library official was meeting with the fire department that very morning to consider finally adding sprinklers to the building. The Book Group meets in the Rothenberg Chapel.
