​Every team member at the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) plays an important role in advancing our mission to create, connect, and inspire Jewish communities that work toward a more whole, just, and compassionate world. Grounded in our core values of shared humanity, justice, belonging, learning, evolving, and Jewish peoplehood, the URJ provides vision and leadership to help build strong Jewish communities and deepen connections to Jewish life. 

​As the largest Jewish movement in North America, the URJ partners with more than 800 congregations and operates 14 residential camps and the Religious Action Center in Washington, D.C. Through youth engagement, camping, leadership development, learning, and social justice initiatives, we support communities in creating vibrant, meaningful Jewish experiences. We strive to build communities where people across identities, generations, and lived experiences feel a deep sense of belonging. We are committed to confronting racism, ableism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression, and to strengthening communities that reflect the diversity of the Jewish people. Together with our congregations, camps, leaders, and partners, we are helping shape a future in which Judaism enables all people to experience peace and wholeness (shalom), justice and equity (tzedek), and belonging and joy (shayachut and simcha).​
