Today, the Knesset, Israel’s legislature, officially voted to confirm its new democratically elected government.
"This change is reason to be hopeful. We wish this coalition of diverse legislators success in bringing peace, equity, and progress to Israel,” said New York Assemblyman David Weprin, co-President of NAJL, the National Association of Jewish Legislators.
"Just as the Knesset members are diverse, so too are Jewish elected officials across the United States in terms of our opinions and religious observance. We are united by a commitment to public service, tikkun olam (repairing the world), and a foundational belief in the Jewish state of Israel that embraces diversity in its citizenry,” explained Washington State Representative Tana Senn, co-President of NAJL.
