The Legislative Assistant Program of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is a year-long fellowship for recent college graduates or individuals with equivalent academic and professional experience, who are interested in Judaism, social justice, and policy.
As we build the Reform Youth Movement, we are taking inspiration from community organizing strategies. Learn what we're doing and how you can help.
The safety of every person in our community is our sacred moral responsibility. This is, and always will be, our highest priority. Learn how to report incidents of harassment, abuse, or misconduct to the URJ or other Reform movement institutions.
Learn about the work the URJ did in 2021 to engage growing numbers of people in Jewish life, pursue social justice at the local and national levels, encourage young people to lead us into the future, and deepen our commitment to a democratic and pluralistic Israel.

Now When [Pharaoh] Let [the People] Go
Now when Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although it was nearer; for God said, "The people may have a change of heart when they see war, and return to Egypt." - Exodus 13:17
