[ ]J Street [ ]
Dear Friend,
As we prepare for Passover, our holiday of liberation, we also look to
those whose freedom is in jeopardy. We are seeing democratic values, and
even democracy itself, being tested. In Ukraine, we see imperialism
rearing its head once more. In the US, voting rights are in peril, and the
results of our elections are being challenged daily.
Meanwhile, in Israel-Palestine, we are of course deeply concerned about
the Occupation, a concerning uptick in terror attacks in Israel, recent
Palestinian deaths resulting from seemingly avoidable confrontations,
settlement expansion, and home demolitions.
As Americans and as Jews, freedom and democracy are things we should not
and cannot take for granted. It is incumbent upon us to make our voices
heard and defend these values that are so dear to us.
To that end, we invite you to join us December 3-5 at J Street's 2022
National Conference: Living Our Values, Defending Democracy. [ [link removed] ]Register

We are also pleased to share the [ [link removed] ]J Street Haggadah with you. In it, we
hope that you will find resources to help center the causes which are
closest to the heart of our movement during your seders.
As we enter this season and begin reflecting upon the ideals of freedom,
democracy, self-determination, and human dignity, may we recommit
ourselves to defeating these injustices and finding the courage to stand
up and speak out.
Chag Kasher v’Sameach,

J Street is the political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans who want
Israel to be secure, democratic and the national home of the Jewish people.
Working in American politics and the Jewish community, we advocate policies that
advance shared US and Israeli interests as well as Jewish and democratic values,
leading to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
