Progressive Judaism in Israel Needs You!
Beth Am needs your help. Please vote Reform in the World Zionist Congress (WZC) elections by clicking on the link in one of the emails you receive from Beth Am. Or, visit azm.org/elections.
The World Zionist Organization (WZO), founded in 1897, promotes Zionism and is the only democratically elected body serving World Jewry. The WZO influences policies and provides funds that affect Jews in Israel and worldwide. The delegation from the USA is the largest single delegation from outside Israel.
YOU have the opportunity to make your voice heard. VOTE REFORM to influence Israeli policies for pluralism and tolerance in this vital election, which began January 21 and continues to March 11, 2020. The results of the election directly affect the distribution of $1 Billion in annual funding.
If you are a Jew over 18, regardless of membership or affiliation, VOTE REFORM and take advantage of an easy way to help Israel! Many slates are offered in this election. We, as progressive Jews, are asking you to vote for tolerance and pluralism -- VOTE REFORM.
Voting information is now available online. Opportunities to vote on computers will be provided at many Beth Am events. For more information, please contact our WZO Elections co-chairs, Ellen Ratner or Alan Warshaw, (415) 205-0179.
After you vote, please send an email to wzc2020@urj.org with the subject “I VOTED REFORM!” Thanks!
We Need YOU and every Jewish adult over the age of 18 to vote. Please cast your vote!
