in 1976, nearly thirty years after the establishment of israel, the recognition of jewish "peoplehood" was noted by the central conference of american rabbis (ccar) in their "centenary perspective", adopted in san francisco, and marking the centenaries of the founding of the union of american hebrew congregations and the hebrew union college-jewish institute of religion. marking the 100th anniversary of political zionism in 1997, the ccar dealt specifically for the first time with issues related to zionism in its “reform judaism & zionism: a centenary platform”, also known as the "miami platform". the perspective noted the trends that had occurred within reform jewish thought with respect to the religion, its people and religious practice, their movement from degradation to sovereignty, their relationship and obligations to israel, as well as israel's obligations to jews of the diaspora, and redemption. the union's new 1999 "statement of principles for reform judaism", also called the pittsburgh platform, again noted the trends that had occurred within reform jewish and codified these with respect to religious practice and the modern state of israel. the 1999 platform called for "renewed attention" to "sacred obligations," of which it mentioned the observance of holidays and shabbat, prayer, and the study of torah and the hebrew language. the statement endorsed "aliyah" (emugration to israel) for the first time, and notes differences within both the country israel and reform judaism concerning the relationship of "medinat yisrael" (the modern state of israel) and "eretz yisrael" (the biblical israel), included in on-going debates regarding conceptions of zionism. reform judaism still holds that halacha is not binding, and has since embraced other concepts like patrilineal descent that keep it in tension with the more traditional movements of judaism, and in control of religious law in israel.
