Israel Action—How to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon
For 20 years, the pro-Israel community has been working to stop
Iran from obtaining a
nuclear weapon. Although bi-partisan majorities in both the
House and Senate oppose
the current flawed deal, we now know it will be moving forward.
However, our work to
prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and protecting
Israel’s security continues.
Over the next few months, there will be a number of critical
pieces of legislation
introduced that address both the flaws of this agreement as well
as Israel’s security
concerns. Join the RJC at this year’s AIPAC Policy Conference to
help to lobby on
behalf of this agenda. Click here to sign up for Policy
Conference, March 20-22, 2016 in
Washington, DC, or contact Sarah Walsh at [email protected] or
917-210-6329.
Condolences Ina Pretsfelder and Steven Pretsfelder on the loss

Parkway, Apt 4E.
May the family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and
Jerusalem.
