Israel Action Committee (IAC) Mission Statement

The IAC was established to increase congregant and broader community engagement with the state of Israel through education, celebration and dialogue. The committee presents Israel related programs to the congregation, including political, cultural, social, economic and religious interests. The IAC works to promote connection with Israelis, including those from our community, who have made aliya and those who are living here.

We want to inspire active support of the progressive Jewish movement in Israel including: synagogues, schools, and kibbutzim. We wish to foster the celebration of Yom Ha’Atzmaut – Israel Independence Day throughout the Temple, including our religious and preschools.

The Israel Action Committee of Congregation Emanu-El is committed to creating an atmosphere where our members can engage passionately and respectfully about their views, perspectives, hopes and dreams for the State of Israel.
