"For Zion's Sake, We Will Not Be Silent"

As rabbis and cantors, leaders of American Jews, we have a special obligation to speak up for justice. And for too long, the voices of those of us who support Israel and a two-state solution have been silenced.

Join us and add your voice: "The stakes are too high, and we will not be silent any longer. We will speak up for Israel, against the occupation, and for a two-state solution."

Read the full letter below, and add your name.

Once you take the pledge, Americans for Peace Now, J Street, and T'ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights will provide you with rabbinic and educational resources to help you engage your community.

Additional Information

In October, the JCPA published a study reflecting the challenges to rabbis of expressing their views on Israel. According to this report, about a third of rabbis are reluctant to express their views about Israel.

Despite extraordinarily deep personal connection, too many rabbis have said that they feel overtly or implicitly pressured to withhold their views and thus unable to fully serve their communities by teaching about Israel.

As rabbis, let's support one another as we engage our communities and speak the difficult truths that will be necessary if Israel's future is to be secure and righteous.
