American Council for Judaism

The American Council for Judaism (ACJ) is a religious organization of American Jews committed to the proposition that Jews are not a national^[1] but a religious group, adhering to the original stated principles of Reform Judaism, as articulated in the 1885 Pittsburgh Platform. In particular, it is notable for its historical opposition to Zionism. Although it has since moderated its stance on the issue, it still advocates that American Jews distance themselves from Israel politically, and does not view Israel as a universal Jewish homeland.
