Reform Jews demonstrate their values through action, and 2017 brought us ample and urgent opportunities to act on many values we hold dear. From community organizing around issues of concern to welcoming all into our communities, the URJ stands at the forefront of upholding Reform values, including welcoming the stranger, resisting intolerance and hate, engaging in acts of loving kindness, and working tirelessly to ensure the State of Israel lives up to its promise as a pluralistic, democratic society.
