VOTE REFORM IN THE WORLD ZIONIST CONGRESS 2025, APRIL 16 – MAY 4
Voting in the World Zionist Congress (WZC) election opened on March 10. Now is the time to Vote Reform at ZionistElection.org.
The WZC is the democratically elected international body that convenes every five years and is a way for Diaspora Jews like you to have a voice in Israel and stand up for democracy, security, and a path to peace.
WHAT’S AT STAKE?
Our opponents in the WZC campaign are highly motivated religious fundamentalists whose vision for the future of Israel is diametrically opposed to ours. They are organizing to destroy what we value, including:
- Chipping away at Israel’s democracy
- Stripping our Israeli Reform clergy – especially our women rabbis – and our Reform communities of their rights, funding, and infrastructure
- Making sure that our converts and our children are not welcome in the Jewish state
Their vision writes Reform Jews out of the next chapter of Jewish history and will make Jews in Israel and around the world less safe.
Your vote will help ensure that Israel reflects our Reform Jewish values and is a place where our children and grandchildren will always be safe and welcome. The Reform Jewish representatives in the WZC help promote our values on issues that affect all of us.
Vote Reform today or learn more at vote4reform.com.

Yahrzeits May 2 - 8
Zeicher tzaddik livrachah!
זכר צדיק לברכה

May 3, 2025
Michael D Greenbaum, brother of Susan Hagan
May 6, 2025
Milton Greenbaum, father of Susan Hagan

It is traditional to light a memorial candle at home on the eve of the yahrzeit. You may also find it meaningful while kindling the yahrzeit candle to offer prayers of remembrance or reflect on your loved one’s life. Many also choose this time to make monetary donations in memory of loved ones.
Yahrzeit Memorial Plaques
When remembering loved ones who have passed away, we invite you to commemorate their lives and blessings with a memorial plaque for the TBC wall of remembrance. Ordering information is available here.
