BRIT OLAM CONGREGATIONS
'Brit Olam' translates to ‘covenant with our world.’
The Brit Olam reminds us of the words from Pirkei Avot:
“Study alone is not enough, our tradition demands action.”
Across North America and around the world, vulnerable populations face profound challenges. The Reform Jewish Movement is dedicated to meeting this urgency of now through moral leadership and congregational and community-based action. To this end, the Religious Action Center developed the Brit Olam, a moment of recovenant articulating our long-term vision of a strong, networked Reform Movement acting powerfully and together to bring upon the world we want - a world filled with justice, compassion and wholeness.
The 140+ congregations below signed onto the Brit Olam in 2017 and publicly reaffirmed their commitment to meaningful social justice work grounded in our sacred, enduring Jewish values.
