The Israel Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism- IMPJ

The IMPJ is the umbrella organization of all Reform institutions and congregations in Israel. We believe in combining Jewish tradition and modern everyday life and in the right of each individual to shape his and her Jewish life The IMPJ today has 50 congregations and community initiatives operating from Rosh Pina in the North to the Arava in the south. Alongside these are operating 50 preschools, kindergartens, schools and other educational initiatives across the country according to Reform, pluralistic values. IMPJ congregations run a variety of programs and activities, including prayer, religious education programs (Beit Midrash), cultural and environmental programs, study groups for unique populations and more. Each year, tens of thousands of Israelis turn to the life-cycle event services center at the IMPJ headquarters for their families’ Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies, wedding, birth ceremonies and death and memorial services. The IMPJ also has a humanitarian fund, Keren b’Kavod and a center for legal and public activism (the Israel Religious Action Center)
