The Israel Advocacy Committee was established to foster our congregation's connection to Israel. The committee provides cultural, entertaining and educational programming to our congregants. One of the goals of the committee is to partner with an Israeli Conservative Synagogue in Ashkelon, Israel, to share information and experiences on all levels. Every age group, from pre-schoolers to seniors, has the opportunity to learn about life in Israel first-hand through mutual correspondence. The committee has access to many media organizations so that proper information of reported news can be updated on a regular basis. The committee encourages any interested congregant to join its monthly meetings. All viewpoints are welcome.
