Women of Reform Judaism/ WRJ
Welcome!!!!
The mission of Beth David's Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ) is to provide spiritual, social, cultural and intellectual enrichment for the women of Beth David and their families. We do this through education, community action, political awareness and service to our synagogue and the greater community, especially the State of Israel.
All women congregants are eligible to join WRJ, a.k.a. Sisterhood, and first-year congregants enjoy honorary membership for one year. Sisterhood is comprised of an energetic and devoted group of women of all ages. (Non-congregants who support our principles and goals are also welcome to join us.) Sisterhood works hard to achieve its objectives, but members have a lot of fun doing so. Close, life-long friendships have been formed as a consequence of becoming active, something that will continue from generation to generation. We hope every woman at Beth David will become part of this wonderful tradition.
WRJ as a Worldwide Organization
The Beth David WRJ is a member of the international organization. WRJ now represents more than 65,000 women in nearly 500 women’s groups in North America and around the world. The organization’s mission is to guarantee the future of Reform Judaism by educating and training sisterhood and congregational leadership. You can read more about the group on their Web site: womenofreformjudaism.org
