Between the Covid pandemic, the political turmoil here and in Israel, and the unusually cold weather, we all find ourselves somewhat overwhelmed this winter. None of these challenges have stopped us here at Ameinu from continuing our work to represent your voice within the Jewish establishment while making sure that our progressive values are being heard loud and clear.
In this newsletter, we would like to share with you some of our upcoming events and programs, as well as some recent statements and developments.
We hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe and we wish you a happy Purim holiday! We hope to see you participating in our programs. In the meantime - stay warm! Miki Golod National Director

Progressive Groups Dismayed by JNF-KKL Decision to Permit West Bank Land Purchases; Call on Board to Reject It
|
In response to the Jewish National Fund-Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (JNF-KKL) Executive Board decision to purchase land in the West Bank for the purpose of expanding Jewish settlements beyond the Green Line, Ameinu and eight other organizations from the Progressive Israel Network released this statement. |
"The vast majority of American Jews who we represent want to be part of building and supporting an Israel that respects its neighbors, upholds democracy and seeks peace. Buying land to expand West Bank settlements is antithetical to Israel’s future as a democracy, entrenches occupation, and makes all who live there — Israelis and Palestinians on both sides of the Green Line — far less safe. We call on the full JNF-KKL board in Israel to reject this move unequivocally and commit to the values of democracy and equality." |
