The World Zionist Organization, together with numerous partner organizations, is honored to invite you to the continuation of a tradition:

A Festive Reading of the Declaration of Independence at the Egalitarian Kotel!

For the sixth consecutive year, we will gather between Holocaust Remembrance Day and Independence Day for an emotional and festive tradition: reading the Declaration of Independence with traditional cantillation (Ta’amim) at the Egalitarian Kotel. The event will be hosted by Dr. Yizhar Hess, Vice Chairman of the World Zionist Organization, and we will be joined by various organizations, rabbis, and public and spiritual leaders.

The event will be broadcast live in multiple languages to the Jewish world (broadcasting for the first time this year on The Times of Israel).

You are also invited to join us in person at the Kotel. This is our way of celebrating Israel’s Independence Day and Jewish Peoplehood in Israel and across the globe.

For those joining remotely, there will be a pre-event lecture by Yuval Malchi on the story of Israel’s founding document.

Protect the Egalitarian Kotel — Take Action Today

Dear Friends,

This morning, the Knesset advanced legislation that strikes at the heart of Jewish unity and religious pluralism. The bill would transfer authority over all prayer at the Kotel to the ultra-Orthodox Chief Rabbinate, criminalize religious services that do not conform to its standards, and effectively dismantle the Egalitarian Kotel. If enacted, millions of Israeli and Diaspora Jews would lose meaningful access to worship at Judaism’s holiest site.

This legislation is not yet law. Several additional steps remain, and we are working intensely to stop it. But today’s vote marks a dangerous escalation — and is a clear warning.

The Conservative/Masorti Movement has stood with Israel for generations, and especially since October 7. We have answered the Prime Minister’s call to “fight” for Israel’s future. Now we must insist that Israel stand for us — and for the religious freedom of all Jews.

We are asking you to take two immediate steps:

1. Sign this petition.
Add your name to our Conservative/Masorti Movement petition to Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Herzog, Speaker Ohana, and members of Knesset opposing this legislation. It is vital that they here from as many people as possible.

2. Contact your nearest Israeli Ambassador or Consul General.
Email the diplomatic representative closest to you and express your outrage and opposition to this legislation. You may personalize the message below:

I am writing to express my outrage and strong opposition to MK Avi Maoz and Justice Minister Yariv Levin’s extreme legislation to delegitimize Conservative and Reform Jews and drive us away from the Kotel by effectively threatening us with prison time for praying according to our custom at the Egalitarian Kotel. After these past difficult years — when my community has stood by Israel and faced increasing antisemitism — it is inconceivable that the Israeli government would move forward with such extreme legislation to marginalize us at our holiest site. The Prime Minister must publicly declare that this bill will not be allowed to become law.

This is the moment to act to preserve the Kotel as a place where all Jews can gather in dignity and prayer. We will continue to update you as this unfolds.

Sincerely,
