BJ’s relationship with Israel is grounded in our deepest commitments as Jews: our responsibility for one another, our sacred connection to our ancestral homeland, and our obligation to uphold the dignity of every human being.
We’ve recently updated our Israel Engagement page. There, you’ll find the teachings that guide us, along with four areas of focus that shape our programmatic approach and will continue to do so.
