This past Sunday during the Kesher Israel Committee meeting at Temple Beth El we distributed the shirts we ordered from ARZA, The Reform Israel Fund.

For those that don’t know, ARZA is an organization that works in partnership with the Union for Reform Judaism here in the States and with the Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism, as well as their affiliates, to promote advocacy for a Jewish, pluralistic, just and democratic society in the State of Israel.

The front of the shirt says Picture Israel A Pluralistic & Democratic State, and the back has the ARZA logo. I think it is a cool shirt and plan on wearing it while in Israel next month!
