Board of Trustees
December 1982
Denver, Colorado

Taking cognizance of the courageous and honorable act of Costa Rica in moving its embassy to West Jerusalem; and

Concerned that the continued failure of the United States and Canada to move their embassies to Israel's capital will encourage Israel's enemies in their intransigent attitude toward Jerusalem as the undisputed capital of Israel as well as toward the very existence of the State of Israel,

The Board of Trustees of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations calls upon the governments of the United States and Canada to move their embassies to Jerusalem speedily.
