RABBI’S CORNER
Dear YIEB Families,
This past Shabbat, I spoke about our responsibility as
US citizens and as Pro-Israel activists to advocate that
members of congress to reject the Iran deal. Thank
you to all those who took the time to attend a rally
and who called our representatives in Washington
DC. This week, I went to Washington DC with 30
Rabbis from across NJ and NY. I met with our three
representatives (Senator Menendez, Senator Book
and Congresswoman Coleman) who are all very
concerned about the Iran deal. We need to continue
calling their offices and writing emails urging them to
vote against the deal. It truly makes a difference!
Please call (and encourage others to call) our three
Representatives:
A. Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman 202-
225-5801
B. Senator Cory Booker 202-224-3224
C. Senator Bob Menendez 202-224-4744
Here is a sample phone script (provided by AIPAC):
"I am calling to urge the senator/representative to
oppose the Iran nuclear deal because it will not block
Iran from getting a nuclear weapon."
Talking Points:
· I have consistently supported diplomatic efforts
to peacefully prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear
weapons. I appreciate the hard work of the
administration to reach a deal.
· Unfortunately, the proposed deal will let Iran
become a threshold nuclear weapons state and will
not guarantee international inspectors access to
suspicious sites in Iran.
· Congress and the president have repeatedly
said, “No deal is better than a bad deal.” This is a bad
deal.
· Congress must oppose this agreement, and
urge the administration to negotiate a better deal
that will truly prevent Iran from building a nuclear
weapon.
Thank you for all your efforts.
Rabbi Jay Weinstein

PLEASE HELP US ADVOCATE FOR IMPORTANT FUNDING FOR
NEW JERSEY’S DAY SCHOOLS AND YESHIVAS.
Two weeks ago, TEACH NJS, a partnership between the
Orthodox Union Advocacy Center, 20 Jewish day schools, and
the Jewish Federations of both Northern New Jersey and the
Heart of New Jersey, held its Launch Event.
Three hundred concerned community leaders and members
attended this event, and each walked away knowing that
something can be done to reduce the cost of non-public
education. Increased state funding for our children’s
education and services is possible, and necessary to mitigate
the day school tuition crisis.
We can start by spending the next two weeks urging our state
legislators to restore the budget cuts to non-public education
and co-sponsor the Secure Schools for All Children Act
(A4288 and S2889) – critical legislation that will provide
funding for security in non-public schools.
To effectively advocate for this legislation, we need EVERY
member of our community to take two minutes to send an
automated email to your elected officials.
These two minutes could help bring in millions of dollars of
much needed services and equipment to our schools.
Please don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference. We
do not need hundreds of emails. We need thousands of
emails. Only as a confident, determined group can we make
this happen.
Please forward this email to your friends, your fellow school
parents and your shul members. The success that we can
achieve by working TOGETHER over the next two weeks is
crucial for both our schools and our children. Thank you,
Josh Pruzansky, New Jersey Regional Director
Orthodox Union Advocacy Center _____________________________________________________________________________________________
