ReformJudaism.org
To fulfill the URJ's mission of providing audacious hospitality to those who seek to live a Jewish life, ReformJudaism.org was launched in 2013 to ensure that anyone can find Jewish content that is accessible and welcoming. Since then, more than 3.5 million visitors have come to this site to seek out information to bring Judaism into their lives.
Rationale
Depth and meaning in Jewish learning is necessary to reduce the staggering rates of post-b’nei mitzvah dropout. We believe that a root cause of these challenges is the perception that b’nei mitzvah celebrations are like graduation ceremonies.
