Dear ARZA Canada Member:

 

ARZA Canada has joined the "Stop the Sirens" campaign, a joint effort of the North American Reform and Conservative Movements as well as the Jewish Federations of North America, to raise money to support the current humanitarian efforts that are being undertaken in Israel. 

  
PLEASE DONATE! 
Money donated through ARZA Canada will support the work of  the Israel Reform Movement's humanitarian relief arm, Keren b'Kavod.

 

The IMPJ, led by Keren b'Kavod, (as the bombs began falling over Israel's south, centre, and even as far north as Zikaron Yaacov) immediately began carrying out emergency response activities including:

   

-Emergency Activity Packages to weak families stuck at home with no means of occupying the children. They are supporting both individual families and home day camps by preparing and distributing 2000 emergency activity packages. 

 

-Hosting Families and Children from high risk areas in the North and Arava

  

 -IMPJ Summer Camp and the IMPJ youth movement opening its doors and adding to its existing campers an additional 50 youth from the south of Israel (between ages 9-14). 

  

-Family Hosting- with Families from IMPJ Congregations in the North and at Kibbutz Yahel and Kibbutz Lotan in the South

 

We all pray for an end to the conflict, for minimal suffering on all sides, and for peace.

  

To donate please click here.  Please select the IMPJ Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism Fund and write "Stop the Sirens" in the comment box. Your tax receipt will be immediately  generated. 

 

Please give generously to support the important activities being carried out in Israel now.

 

"May the one who makes peace in the high heavens make peace for us, all of Israel, and all peoples of the world"

As Hamas continues to launch hundreds of rockets at targets in the Negev and throughout the center of Israel, our North American Reform Movement is working to help support millions of Israelis in harm's way, many huddled in bomb shelters. As we did two years ago, the Reform Movement has joined with the Conservative Movement and JFNA (the Jewish Federations of North America) to raise and distribute funds to provide emergency aid and alleviate the pain and suffering of our Israeli brothers and sisters.  At times such as these we especially feel connected to our people. We hope you will join us in doing our part by contributing funds to this critical joint effort.
