The Progressive Jewish Alliance sees its primary task as working to create a just and equitable society -- a true kehilah kedoshah -- in the neighborhoods and cities of this country.  And yet, as Jews engaged in the quest for justice and peace in the world, we care passionately about the well-being of the State of Israel, as well as of all inhabitants -- Jews, Christians, and Muslims -- of the ancient and fraught land between the Jordan and Mediterranean.

Consistent with the Biblical mandate to “seek out peace and pursue it,” (Prophets 34:14) PJA is committed to a just and equitable resolution to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.  Toward that end, we believe that the State of Israel has the right to live in peace and security alongside a viable State of Palestine that dwells in peace and security.  

PJA believes in vigorous and open debate and discussion on Israel-related issues within the American Jewish community, a dialogue without threats or fears of retribution and ostracism.  Our members hold a wide array of views on how to achieve peace, and we respect the right of all members of Klal Yisrael -- all those in the Jewish community -- to express divergent views with civility and respect.
