Northeast District Convention Wrap Up

Our four day Northeast District Convention in March was AMAZING!  It was nice to feel like we were getting back to the warmth and joy of having an in-person convention.  Special thanks go to convention chair Michelle Rosen and the MANY committees for creating such an incredible weekend.  Betty Weiner organized a very successful YES Fund luncheon and online auction.  From services to learning sessions to chocolate tasting to meals to just being together, the weekend felt magical.  We had several special guests from both the WRJ North American board and the WRJ main office.  Special thanks to our guest for the weekend, Judy Wexler - WRJ VP, and to our fantastic spiritual and musical guest, Rabbi Deborah Zecher.  We had many new attendees with us for the convention and were so happy to get to know them.  We were also proud to have both WRJ Executive Director - Rabbi Marla Feldman and WRJ President Sara Charney who both just happen to be Northeast District members.

WRJ Speaks Up for Democracy in Israel

May 15, 2023
When I signed up to join the Women Off the Beaten Path: WRJ Goes to Israel journey, I knew it would be a meaningful experience. I looked forward to the joy of being in Israel and celebrating her 75th birthday with that special mix of sisterhood, spirituality, and social justice that is Women of Reform Judaism. Then everything changed and changed again. Being in Israel with WRJ at this particular moment in time has taken on a far deeper meaning.
