Update 12/07/07

Dear Members,

This week we are attaching two blogs by leaders of the progressive
movement, the first by Rabbhi Tony Bayfield (Chief Executive & Head of
the Reform Movement) is from the News Chronicle, and the second by Rabbi
Eric Yoffie (President of the Union for Reform Judaism of America) is
from the Jerusalem Post. We would appreciate your comments on these
articles.

Next Monday 16 July from 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm we have been asked by the
Zionist Federation to join them outside the Syrian Embassy, 8 Belgrave
Square, London, SW1X 8PH, to "Stand up for our kidnapped soldiers, one
year after their capture". Gilad Shalit, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad
Regev. Find out more at www.zionist.org.uk <http://www.zionist.org.uk>
