ISRAEL ACTIVITIES
At the core of Pro Zion is a love of Israel and we work with many organisations to support progressive Judaism and Zionism in Israel.
Arzenu, the International Federation of Reform and Progressive ZionistsArzenu is the umbrella organisation for Progressive Zionists worldwide. We are extremely active in the organisation and continue to have representation in the organisation. Arzenu is also our main point of contact with the World Zionist Organisation, The Jewish Agency and increasingly the Israeli government. We send delegates to the World Zionist Congress in Israel as well as to the Vaad Hapoel, the governing body of the World Zionist Organisation.
