Founded in 1980 as an “ideological grouping” or Brit Olamit within the World Zionist Organization, arzenu has constituent groups in thirteen countries around the world and embraces a two-fold mission: partnering with our local constituents to promote Zionist interest and activities in our congregations and ensuring that Reform Jewish values and interests are represented in the governing bodies of the National Institutions of the State of Israel: the World Zionist Organization, Keren Kayemeth Leyisrael and the Jewish Agency for Israel. We use our political strength in the National Institutions to advocate for our values with the Government of Israel.

We believe in a Jewish State that embraces both democratic values and Judaism in all of its forms as well as protecting the rights of its minorities. We work for the acceptance and respect of the Reform Movement as a legitimate stream of Judaism by the Israeli Government. Using our voice in the National Institutions, we support the Israeli Reform Movement in fighting for the issues that are most important to them.
