Federation Movement, Religion & Israel Fact Sheet

Many of the disturbing events that have occurred in Israel lately are linked to trends and issues which have been developing over a long period of time.  This includes challenges within the field of Jewish identity and pluralism as well as those which relate to the rapid growth within the ultra-Orthodox population and the need to develop culturally appropriate opportunities to foster greater integration into mainstream Israeli society.

Jewish Holiday Calendar.

Jewish holidays actually occur on the same day every year: the same day on the Jewish calendar! The Jewish calendar has a different number of days than the calendar we use because the Jewish calendar is tied to the moon's cycles instead of the sun's. The Jewish calendar loses about 11 days relative to the solar calendar every year, but makes up for it by adding a month every two or three years. As a result, the holidays don't always fall on the same day. See the dates for the Jewish holidays from 2011 until 2014 by clicking here

PJ Library highlighted in NY Times: Aiming to Spread Judaism One Book at a Time

In 2004, Harold Grinspoon, a local real estate mogul, heard a story on National Public Radio about the Imagination Library, founded by the singer Dolly Parton to give free books to children in her native rural Tennessee (and which now gives books around the country, in Canada and in England).
