Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ) is the women’s affiliate of the Union for Reform Judaism, the central body of Reform Judaism in North America. Established in 1913, WRJ now represents more than 65,000 women in nearly 500 women’s groups in North America and around the world. With a mission to ensure the future of Reform Judaism, WRJ works to educate and train future sisterhood and congregational leadership about membership, fundraising, leadership skills, advocacy for social justice, and innovative and spiritual programming.
In the WRT community, we are the organization that plans Bible Class, Rosh Chodesh and a Book Group. We bring new programming and speakers who challenge and spark our thinking and discussion. We celebrate annual events like Ushpizot, Thanksgiving for the Visually Impaired, the Women's Seder and Confirmation. Weekly, we celebrate and recognize every Bar and Bat Mitzvah. We raise tzedakkah through various efforts like running the Judaica Shop, the Holiday Boutique and selling Uniongrams to promote Reform Judaism in the United States, Israel and other worthy causes in our own community and abroad. We are the Women of Reform Judaism and we are stronger together!
