Keeping you - whether you're a congregational leader or member, a member of the media, or someone interested in Judaism - informed about the Union for Reform Judaism and its programs and resources is the job of the Department of Marketing and Communications.
COMMUNICATING WITH CONGREGATIONS
Using all available media, we communicate regularly with congregational leaders to help them learn how to access the Union's resources more readily.
In addition to regular Communications Updates to lay and professional leaders, the Marketing and Communications Department administers the URJ Web site, responds to the "Ask the Union" queries that are sent to the Union via the Web, and coordinates several online discussion groups for temple leaders.
We also send breaking and timely news of immediate interest via broadcast fax to temple offices and via E-mail to individuals interested in receiving alerts via ReformNews. Why not subscribe to ReformNews to keep current on new and updated information about the Union for Reform Judaism.
