Temple Beth El and other Reform Jewish communities in the diaspora have gathered together to forge methods of bringing our communities and those in Israel closer together, forming the Israel Leadership Network for this purpose.

Those of us at Temple Beth El involved in the network include Rabbi Jonathan Biatch, Director of Lifelong Learning Nicole A. Jahr, and the co-chairs of the Kesher Israel Committee, Orly Klugman and Joanna Berke. We encourage others to join us!

 Meetings are held every six weeks. Our previous meetings have included listening to educators regarding the disparities and similarities of our movements and discussing plans for moving forward.

 We are aided in this project by our experienced mentor, Sherrill Neff. Our next meeting will bring leaders of congregations of various sizes and experiences together to share strengths and needs for improvement.

Again, these meetings are welcome to all. Please join us! Contact Nicole Jahr, Director of Lifelong Learning at learn@tbemadison.org for details.
