Arzenu is the political voice of Reform, Progressive, and Liberal Religious Zionists within the World Zionist Organization and its subsidiaries.
Founded in 1980 as an “ideological grouping” or Brit Olamit within the World Zionist Organization, Arzenu has member groups in fifteen countries worldwide and pursues a dual mission: promoting Zionist interests and activities in our communities in collaboration with local members, and ensuring that Reform Jewish values and interests are represented in the governing bodies of Israel’s National Institutions—the World Zionist Organization, Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael, and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
We leverage our political strength within the National Institutions to advocate for our values to the Israeli government. Arzenu Austria was founded in 2024 as the successor organization to Pro-Zion Austria, continuing its longstanding and successful work. Pro-Zion Austria, established in July 2012, served as the Austrian representation of Arzenu Olami – a movement advocating for the interests of Jewish liberal, progressive, and Reform communities within the World Zionist Organization. Arzenu Austria carries forward these well-established initiatives and develops them with a forward-looking approach to strengthen our shared commitment sustainably.
Support Arzenu Austria and strengthen progressive Jewish values in Austria!
