Israel Tzedakah Projects

Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism (IMPJ) is The Israel Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism.  It is the communal, spiritual, and social Jewish movement that acts to promote the values of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state according to the spirit of the Declaration of Independence. The IMPJenriches Jewish identity among the vast and diverse Israeli public, and works to significantly influence religious, educational and public discourse in the State of Israel and in the entire Jewish world.   The IMPJ’s work in Israel includes Progressive Jewish education; establishing pluralistic Jewish communities; youth and young adult leadership; social action and advocacy for religious pluralism in Israel; engaging immigrants from the Former Soviet Union with their Judaism; deepening ties between Israeli and Diaspora Jews. Importantly, the Rabbis of IMPJ have been working tirelessly with people who need pastoral care after being evicted from their homes due to the war in Gaza as well as the ongoing hostilities from Hezbollah in the North and suffering awful personal losses.  In many cases, Reform Rabbis are the only people to whom the displaced people can turn for such care.  The Israel Reform Movement represents a growing network of more than 50 Reform congregations across Israel. Together, they engage Israelis in Jewish learning, life cycle events, holiday and Shabbat services, social action, and cultural programming.  Below is a link to a brief video created by IMPJ:
