Israel

Israel has a special place in our hearts as a Jewish community. We connect through travel, culture, and special programs. We continue to seek opportunities for reflection, learning, and hope as we explore the challenging issues of today.

The Israel Support and Awareness Committee (ISAAC) passionately, in collaboration with our clergy, creates programs and events to connect our community to Israeli culture, history, and contemporary issues as well as to Israelis themselves.

We have a deep commitment to the State of Israel and see American and Israeli Jewry as integrally tied. Our community endeavors to create thoughtful dialogue with regard to the complexities surrounding Israel, fostering an environment where meaningful conversations contribute to a more nuanced understanding of this pivotal aspect of Jewish identity.

If you are interested in joining ISAAC, please contact Andy or Cheryl Kimler at .

Over 700 days since Hamas’ brutal attack on October 7th, we are finally hopeful that the 58 hostages, 20 of whom are believed to be alive, will return home to their families. Read the Reform Movement’s Statement on Hostage and Ceasefire Plan.

Our congregation raised funds for The Shiloni Project, an Israeli grassroots organization which provides urgently needed physical and emotional assistance to IDF troops and displaced families. The project strives to build connections with those they aid through in-person deliveries, conveying care and dignity, of needed items.
