The future of the North American Jewish community is being shaped by divergent forces unlike those we have confronted in the past. To address these challenges, the URJ, CCAR and HUC-JIR have convened a Think Tank to discuss these major challenges facing the Reform Movement:
Communal: How does technology change in the nature of community building and affiliation?
Financial: The nature of community in an area of "free" and financial uncertainty.
Post-Denominationalism: What does it mean to be a denomination/movement in a culture that is inherently anti-institutional?
Add Your Voice and Help Create a Vision for the Future of Reform Judaism!
Congregations and individuals were invited to participate in an
online forum to impact the direction of the Think Tank and the future of
Reform Judaism. Read the Live Blog from the event.

Communication at the University of Southern California, gave a keynote
