LJ Israel Month is the first coordinated Israel activity since I took on the role of officer for Israel and the Diaspora and I am really excited with the way it has shaped up. Liberal Judaism is such a wonderfully diverse movement that our original plan of a national day couldn't do justice to this. My aims of this month are to showcase a snapshot of activity in the movement, to engage individual members in their own personal journeys, and to inspire Liberal Judaism's communities with ideas on how they can involve Israel in their work. This month is very much the start of a process of a deeper and richer engagement from our movement.
We have some really big names appearing including Rabbi Ofek Meir and Anat Hoffman with more to be confirmed. We have online events for those who don't live close enough to attend the physical events. We have weekly readings for use in synagogue services or at home and we will be using our blog to showcase some of the organisations that work with Israel on a daily basis.
Keep checking back to make sure you don't miss out on great blog posts from organisations such as the Israeli Movement for Progressive Judaism (IMPJ), Arzenu, the Zionist Federation, Pro-Zion and Leo Baeck Haifa, plus many more.
