NEWS ABOUT ISRAEL  NEWS FROM THE RECONSTRUCTIONIST RABBINICAL ASSOCIATION. On June 27th, the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association joined T'ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in a press release to urge Members of Knesset to reconsider the Bill on the Arrangement of Bedouin Settlement in the Negev:  "This legislation, which seeks to resolve longstanding land disputes between Bedouin Israelis and the state, will likely lead to the expulsion of 30,000 to 40,000 Bedouin Israelis from their homes and to the demolition of more than two dozen villages. Knesset members approved the first reading of the bill with a vote of 43 for and 40 against on June 24 following a contentious floor debate. The bill will now be sent to Committee to be prepared for the second and final readings which could occur before the closing of the Knesset session at the end of July 2013. Bedouin community leaders and their supporters have been outspoken in rejecting the plan as discriminatory, failing to recognize historical Bedouin land rights, and threatening their traditional clan structures and agrarian ways of life." According to Rabbi Jason Klein, President of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association, "Israel's own Declaration of Independence proclaimed that the State of Israel was founded on principles of 'freedom, justice and peace as envisioned by the prophets of the Jewish people.' The opening chapter of the Torah affirms the fundamental importance of equality as all of humanity is created in the Divine image." More information at http://www.truah.org/media/press-releases/488-bedouin-legislation-press-release.html#sthash.IOP3CpDs.dpuf. We are currently looking for people to participate in a committee that would monitor and share news from Israel that may be of particular interest to our congregation. For more information please contact Rosana Caplan through the shul office.
