The Tzedek Chicago membership has voted to add anti-Zionism to the core values of our congregation.
The Tzedek Chicago membership has voted to affirm a unanimous board decision to change “non-Zionism” to “anti-Zionism” in our core values statement. This vote followed on a months-long series of membership meetings and collective discernment - and the Tzedek leadership is immensely grateful to the many members who participated so actively and honestly in this process. Beyond this one decision, we are committed to continuing this important and sacred conversation together as a community - and how we might create and live out a Judaism beyond Zionism.
We will be putting a committee together to draft a public statement that will explain our decision. We intend to include many of the comments and insights that were shared during our community process, so that the statement may reflect the depth and complexity of our conversation.
Here is the original board Q&A explaining the reason for its decision:
Why Did Tzedek Chicago originally include “Non-Zionism” as part of our core values?
