Congress has 60 days to review the Iran nuclear deal and vote to approve or disapprove of lifting sanctions against Iran. Iran cannot be permitted to acquire a nuclear weapon and put the safety of Israel, the United States and the world in jeopardy.   Click here to contact Congress       Find the Perfect Birthright Israel Trip for You     Find a Birthright Israel trip for you!
