We ask the Holy One to spread over Israel a shelter of peace as they await with fear in their bomb shelters and safe rooms, the retaliatory strike of Iran.

The loud and clear support of Reform Jewish values in this World Zionist Congress election means more than just the number of delegates we get in October. @rabbirickjacobs.bsky.social, URJ President, shares more: ejewishphilanthropy.com/the-reform-s...

So proud of our Reform Movement’s historic victory in the World Zionist Congress election! Our Vote Reform slate received more votes than any other slate— not only in this election, but in the entire history of the WZC!
Vote Reform received the most votes in the 2025 US #WorldZionistCongress elections--the most EVER received by a slate in WZC history. Especially in this vulnerable time, we'll use this to keep pushing for releasing the hostages and maintaining the security of Israel as a Jewish & democratic State.

It’s the last day to vote in the World Zionist Congress. Diaspora Jews are invited to vote on $1 billion of allocations and key leadership roles to shape an Israel aligned with our liberal Jewish values of equality, justice and democracy. Elections have consequences.
PLEASE VOTE REFORM #3!!

What a blessing to join tonight’s 40th annual jointly held Yom HaShoah service with Saint Peter’s Church and Central Synagogue. I believe this may well be one of the longest expressions of interfaith solidarity in commemorating the Holocaust, which is both remarkable and inspiring!

The firebombing of Gov Shapiro‘s residence evokes the most painful memories of antisemitic, hate-fueled violence. Grateful that he and his family were unharmed thanks to the fast work of law enforcement and firefighters.
