Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ) strengthens the voice of women worldwide and empowers them to create caring communities, nurture congregations, cultivate personal and spiritual growth, and advocate for and promote progressive Jewish values.
Welcome to the WRJ Heartland District website! Whether you are a member of Women of Reform Judaism, leader of a WRJ-affiliated women’s group/sisterhood, WRJ leader, or someone who shares our common goal of ensuring a vibrant future for Reform Jewish women, we hope you will find helpful information and resources on this site.
Heartland is a new WRJ district, bringing together the Central and Midwest Districts, beginning with our inaugural district convention in Itasca, IL, on March 9-12, 2023. Our new district comprises all or parts of 14 states, including Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, W Virginia, and Wisconsin.
As you explore the site, you will find:
Please be aware that we are in the process of creating the Heartland District, and this website has not yet been fully developed (for example, our officers have not yet been elected). As we move into our future, this website will grow. In the meantime, please consult the Central District and Midwest District web pages for current information that you might not find here.
I am so excited to help lead our new Heartland District into the future. I look forward to hearing from you and learning about your passion for WRJ, and discovering what inspires you to join in. I am sure it will be a time for us to gain knowledge from each other and share in our success as women’s groups, as leaders, and as individuals.
Welcome to the WRJ Heartland District!
