What is IRAC?
The IRAC stands for The Israel Religious Action Center, the social, political and legal branch of the Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism (IMPJ). It gathers information, analyzes policy, advocates for legislative reform and conducts litigation, submitting petitions to the Israeli High Court of Justice in cases involving the religious rights of Israeli Reform Jews and the civil rights of all Israelis. Since 2002, the IRAC has had a Department of Public Policy and Social Action which aims to bolster the involvement of the Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism in social justice and to make the Reform Movement’s voice heard in Israel. ARZA is one of the founders of the IRAC and through our membership revenue, the IRAC’s largest financial donor.
