Passion for Action

As we near Israel’s 73rd birthday, the country is in a democratic crisis. We know you worry about the country as it just had its fourth election in just two years. We now have ultra-right elected officials in the Knesset with the potential to undermine a majority of IRAC’s achievements and jeopardize Israel’s democracy. The Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC) has always been your hands and feet on the ground, working in action to create an Israel that reflects your values. Thanks to your support, this is what we’ve accomplished: • Gender segregation on public buses is illegal • Jewish supremacist, Kahanist candidates were disqualified from running for Knesset • An indictment was filed against Bentzi Gopstein, head of the hate group Lehava • Reform and Conservative rabbis receive state funding towards their salaries • Reform and Conservative converts are recognized under the Law of Return and are eligible for Aliyah • Humanitarian considerations carry more weight in cases of immigrant women who are victims of domestic violence and are seeking permanent residency in Israel. • The Jerusalem March for Pride and Tolerance happens annually • Women in Bet Shemesh can walk without modesty signs, which aim to limit women’s dress and movement The time is now. The urgency is now. We need your partnership so that we can continue doing this work together. Support our campaign and give Israel the gift of change.
