What Jewish Leaders Say About Us
“The Coalition embodies some of the best Jewish values which need to be affirmed at this time…the ZRC has the right mixture of committed love to the Jewish state combined with responsibility to feed back and assess Israel’s policies and the humility to know that Israelis carry, disproportionately, the burdens and consequences of exercising power.”
“I deeply commend you and your colleagues for your efforts. We must learn more about each other, understand where we come from and where we wish to go, focus on, deepen and expand what we share, respect each other, even when we differ.”
“As one who has chosen to devote my life to helping people better understand Israel and fight antisemitism, I view the Zionist Rabbinic Coalition as an important partner in the effort to build bridges and promote greater understanding of the most misunderstood country on earth.”
“I strongly support this important initiative.”
“The Zionist Rabbinic Coalition’s commitment to unity and cooperation serves an important example to our people in Israel and around the world.”
“I believe the Zionist Rabbinic Coalition is such an important group. Its mission statement explains clearly the commitment to promoting pluralism and ties to Israel.”
“Rabbis throughout history have been at the forefront of community leadership. Now more than ever we need these voices from across the spectrum to help their members and families to stand up for Jewish ancestral rights and connection to Tzion, Eretz Yisrael, our eternal homeland. “
What Our Members Say
“I am proud to be one of the original members of ZRC.
Particularly impressive about the post October 7 mission I went on is that Reform, Conservative and Orthodox rabbis, (as well as an HUC student) came together to show our solidarity, be with the victims’ families, grieve with one another and offer support. The access we had – a private meeting with President Herzog, IDF officers, and others was remarkable. The ZRC is the antidote for the eroding sense of ahavat Yisrael we see too often today, sadly even amongst some rabbinic colleagues….”
“This is an opportunity to have a voice in an important conversation in Israel Diaspora relations”
“We want to foster a love of Israel from generation to generation.”
“Zionism and the Jewish State have been part of the Jewish narrative for all of Jewish history. It is a central part of the Jewish story. We need to support and foster our connection to Israel.”
“We can love and support Israel even if we disagree about the particulars of policy and current events.”
