The Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) builds community at every level, from the way we collaborate with congregations, organizations, & individuals to how we make connections across North America to advance contemporary & inclusive Jewish life.
Providing vision & voice to transform the way people connect to Judaism, we help congregations stay relevant & innovative, motivate more young Jews to embrace Jewish living, agitate for a more progressive society, & foster meaningful connections to Israel.
Founded in 1873, the URJ has grown into the largest & most diverse movement in North American Jewish life, with nearly 900 member congregations & work that inspires, connects & educates millions of people. Our legacy, reach, leadership, & vision mean that we can unite thousands of years of tradition with a modern, evolving Judaism to strengthen Jewish communities today & for future generations.
...and we're always looking for talented staff: https://urj.org/careers
