Who We Are

The Union for Reform Judaism leads the largest Jewish movement in North America. 

Our Judaism is for everyone. It is egalitarian, intellectually rigorous, joyful, spiritual, pluralistic, and constantly evolving. It is soul-elevating spiritual practice, life-altering Torah study, courageous practice of tikkun olam, loving care for our community, especially the most vulnerable — that is what we are. 
— Rabbi Rick Jacobs, URJ President

The Union for Reform Judaism provides vision and voice to build vibrant and creative communities that, together, transform the way people connect to Judaism and change the world. Our legacy, reach, leadership, and vision ensure we can unite thousands of years of tradition with modern experience to strengthen Judaism today and for generations to come.
