Update - Yom Kippur

Dear Members,

After a short break we are back with more interesting insights into
contemporary Israeli Society and issues that are relevant to us as
Progressive Zionists.

The first article describes New Citizenship Rules proposed by the
Israeli Ministry of Interior, that will affect those people that have
converted from abroad. The second article, 'open door to converts', on
the same topic as the first, raises some interesting points about the
nature of conversion in Judaism, and how it relates to Israeli
immigration policy.

We also have a letter from our friends from the Galilee community of
Kishorit, reflecting back on the year they have had and looking towards
the future with optimism.

Finally, we would like to wish you all well over the fast.

Gemar Chatimah Tovah,

Charlie Gluckman and all at Pro Zion
