Before the recent elections in Israel, Ameinu planned a session for last week’s J Street Conference entitled “Pro-Israel and Progressive: Making Clear It’s Not “Mission Impossible.” The elections, which resulted in the most right-wing government in Israel’s history, have not made that task any easier. However, that does not mean we are giving up, even though that’s exactly what our right wing detractors want to happen.
Will you support our efforts with a contribution now? |

The session we presented at the conference clearly demonstrates the special role Ameinu plays in the American Jewish community. Ameinu leaders laid out the strategy for engaging with the American left, which includes sharing their criticism of Israel while upholding Israel’s right to exist. A political consultant who carried out research on our behalf presented the results of the polling and focus groups which will inform our expansion of Ameinu’s ‘The Third Narrative’ initiative. A J Street U student activist from Brown University discussed the challenges she faces as a progressive Zionist on campus today. The response from the large audience in attendance confirmed that we are addressing a critical area of concern in our community.
We plan to continue and expand these efforts in 2023, but to do so we need your contribution to fund the programming, website and more.
Can we count on your gift to help us in this increasingly important work?
Thank you.
