Deadline Extended - Letter Still Open
Dear Rabbi,
Support for, and love of, Israel is at the center of many of our rabbinates. Today, we are at a critical point where once again we need to make our voice heard. Foreign aid, including aid to Israel, is being threatened by the prospect of Congressional budget cuts.
You know that aid to Israel reflects a strong U.S. investment in the peace process, a belief in Israel’s importance as a vital ally for the United States in the Middle East, and an American commitment to a Jewish democratic state.
We need your help. Please add your name to the Rabbis’ letter below that will be sent to Congress. Our objective is to get as many signatures as possible from across the country and across our Movements. In order to give our letter maximum impact, we want to get it to Members of Congress during the budget debate. We are, therefore, asking you to add your name by Friday, April 15.
We hope that you will join us in putting your name on this letter. Questions can be directed to Religious Action Center Legislative Assistant Solly Kane at skane@rac.org.
