The Religious Action Center of Reform Judasim
has been the hub of Jewish social justice and legislative activity in the nation's capital for over 40 years. It has educated and mobilized the American Jewish community on legislative and social concerns as an advocate in the Congress of the United States on issues ranging from Israel and Soviet Jewry to economic justice and civil rights, to international peace and religious liberty. RAC is the Washington office of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC), whose 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR), whose membership includes over 1700 Reform rabbis.

It is a very interactive site and includes nearly all sections of the newspaper including features, op-ed and magazine, in addition to the news. There is also a feature that allows you to download one of a collection of photos of daily life in Israel, which installs itself as your desktop wallpaper. This is a great way to become or stay connected to Israel and Israelis, seeing the world through their eyes, or at least the eyes of their media.
