What Does the Reform Movement Contribute to the State of Israel? with Rabbi Nir Barkin and Rabbi David Azoulay of Kehillat YOZMA

In this episode of Essential Questions, Rabbi Dan Levin speaks with Rabbi Nir Barkin and Rabbi David Azoulay of our sister Reform congregation, Kehillat YOZMA in Modi’in, Israel. They discuss their unique experiences and their congregation’s response to October 7th, the work they do to help their community, and what Reform Judaism contributes to Israeli society and Jewish life in Israel.

They also encourage everyone to VOTE REFORM in the World Zionist Congress election, which ends on Sunday, May 4.
