A unique training created by MERCAZ USA that empowers representatives of synagogues, sisterhoods and men’s clubs to create or enhance effective Israel Advocacy committees. Each organization is encouraged to send several representatives who will transmit and implement what they learn to benefit their community and Israel.
MERCAZ USA is the Zionist membership organization of the Conservative Movement and the voice of Conservative Jewry with many international organizations. It works to support religious pluralism in Israel and strengthens the connection between Israel and the Diaspora.
