Support for Israel

Advocacy Committee
Our NCJW West Morris Advocacy Committee helps to determine our priorities and organizes to implement them. For the recent presidential election, we made sure members of the Jewish community were registered to vote and had the education on key issues of importance to us as American Jews to make informed electoral decisions. We also worked to help ensure that the general community, particularly those who are underrepresented, have an equal opportunity to be involved in the electoral process by conducting voter registration activities.
Our Email Action Alert System keeps you informed so you can contact our local legislators about critical national issues. Our Advocacy Guide, free to members, shows you how to make your voice heard to stand up for issues we care about!
