Advocating for the illegal occupation under the name of Judaism, is like advocating ISIL and the KKK under the names of Islam and Christianity. Judaism has nothing to do with Zionism, please remove the (zionist and Israeli engagement) part, this is a religious society not a political one; maybe members would then ratify the society. On a sidenote, if you wish to explore zionism and Israeli engagement, I suggest you do an Israeli society not a Jewish one.

There is absolutely no reason why this should not be ratified

There has been discussion about you including National Day in your plans. Can you please clarify whether this will be celebrated or if there will be a discussion?
