This morning, a guest speaker named Anat Hoffman came to Tzuba to speak to us. Hoffman is a part of  the Israeli Religious Action Center, an legal organization that represents the Reform movement in Israel, and also one of the founders and current chair of Women of the Wall. She spoke mostly about the amazing things IRAC has accomplished in making Israel a better place to live for Reform Jews. It was fascinating to hear this woman speak, as she was responsible for so many drastic changes in Israeli society that directly effect Reform Jews, including myself. Anat is an incredibly engaging speaker, and she told us all how we could contribute to fighting for issues we care about by sending letters to the Israeli government through IRAC, in order to organize everybody and make our case stronger.  Her message was very motivating, saying that we could all make a difference. I felt like I was listening to someone who really has had a profound effect on the world, and I am so thankful that there are people who dedicate their lives to such issues.
