JTA

As I mentioned last night, JTA's reporting and video team is on the ground at the AIPAC policy conference. One of the most important weeks in American-Israeli relations has commenced -- the speeches, the private conferences, the hallway chatter, and the reaction from the attendees and the pundits could shape U.S.-Israel relations, the Middle East peace process and the fight to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons for years to come.

You know which Web sites and newspapers you should read to have your viewpoint confirmed. But, for straight ahead reporting and analysis -- absent of agenda or partisanship -- there is only JTA.

This is one of those weeks that strongly emphasizes the need for an independent, international Jewish news service.  If this service is important to you, we need you to support us with not just your valued readership, but with a generous donation.

By supporting JTA right now, you will be part of a growing chorus of voices from across the spectrum of Jewish life that affirm that -- despite our differences -- our community is only as connected as it is informed, and we are only as effective as we are connected.

Help keep the stories coming -- not just during this crucially important week, but wherever and whenever the next important Jewish news story breaks.

Thanks in advance,

Ami Eden
