Temple Israel has joined the ongoing protests in Israel against the current government’s plans to reduce the influence of the Supreme Court and change the requirements of who is recognised as Jewish in Israel.
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis and Diaspora Jews have raised their voices in protest and we joined them in several ways — we sent emails to the Prime Minister’s office, did our own havdalah protest at the shul, and our delegates to our World Union for Progressive Judaism Conference in Jerusalem joined protesters on the streets, singing and chanting to add our voices to the chorus.
