Resolution Concerning the War in Iraq
In 2007, OHALAH was a branch of ALEPH and adopted the following resolution:
We, Ohalah, the Association of Rabbis for Jewish Renewal, call on the
American government –
1. Not to escalate the Iraq War by sending more troops to Iraq, especially since calls for such an escalation lack the clear support of the American people and Congress and would necessitate the extending of the tours of duties of American soldiers, many of whom have already spent several tours of duty in Iraq.
2. To adopt a firm time-table for ending the military presence of United States forces in Iraq;
We also direct that this statement be made public in the press and throughout the Jewish Renewal movement and sent to leaders of the Executive and Legislative branches of the US government.
We also urge ALEPH to encourage its members to send letters to the President and the Congress in support of the two positions cited above.
