Today we heard Rabbi Gilad Kariv speak about the Israeli Movement for Progressive Judaism (IMPJ) - the Reform Movement in Israel.  Israel does not recognize Progressive Judaism as a legitimate movement and therefore does not support Progressive communities or organizations.  Unlike America, Israeli synagogues and religious schools receive most of their funding from the state (taxes that everyone pay go to this) - membership isn’t a working concept here.  This makes it difficult for the Reform congregations to have the means to operate.  Check out the website, get to know the situation, and make a donation.
