 Israel/ARZA Committee 
The Israel/ARZA Committee provides links for members of Beth Emet to the State and People of Israel
through programs, speakers, and celebrations. The Committee also acts as Beth Emet’s representative to ARZA, the
Association of Reform Zionists of America.
We promote engagement by the Beth Emet community with Israeli society, culture,
politics, and Israeli Progressive Judaism. For a schedule of Israel/ARZA Committee sponsored events and activities, please
