[ISRAEL] Public Statement of Reform and Progressive Organizations, Communities and Congregations in Israel and from Throughout the World on the Intention to Appoint Mr. Efi Eitam to the Position of Chairperson of Yad Vashem
The World Union joins together with the Israel Reform Movement (IMPJ), the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ, North America), and ARZENU-the International Federation of Reform Zionist Movements, to express our opposition to the appointment, which would go against the values of this institution, its important role in Israel and the world, and would be contrary to the central message at the heart of Holocaust memory and research into the worst disaster in the history of the Jewish people.
