Resources & Programs

Through WRJ, Reform women have created a unique and vibrant role for women in congregational life and helped women find their spiritual voice.

To foster women’s Jewish growth, WRJ brings new program ideas to women's groups, creates resources to introduce women's rituals and enhance Jewish celebrations, and more. The following resources allow individual members, sisterhoods, and women's groups the opportunity to explore new ways to enhance their cultural understanding and mutual learning through these Jewish experiences.

WRJ Speakers Bureau

The WRJ Speakers Bureau offers an opportunity to bring a dynamic, experienced WRJ leader to your sisterhood, women’s group, or district. Our speakers can share various topics with your group, including, but not limited to, leadership development, advocacy, WRJ history and priorities, and fundraising.

Tzedakah Collectives

WRJ’s newest program, Tzedakah Collectives, combines women’s philanthropy, Jewish learning, and sisterhood into one easy-to-facilitate program for any size group. It consists of a group of people who pool their donations and decide together where to allocate their money. Pooling donations allows your members to effect even greater change than they could individually.
