Jewish Life & Religious Observance

Since its inception, WRJ has sought ways to strengthen Jewish practice, Jewish family life, and the Reform Movement and institutions. Whether our women were supporting students at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR), helping raise funds for NFTY–The Reform Jewish Youth Movement, thinking about new and innovative ways to celebrate Jewish holidays, or fostering the next generation of dedicated young Jews, WRJ has always been, and remains, committed to synagogue life and the future of the Reform Movement.
