Dear friends,

We have just returned from the URJ Biennial in Orlando, where our faculty, students, alumni, Governors, and Overseers were among the 5,000 leaders of our Reform Movement participating in this milestone gathering.

We take great pride in our faculty’s thought leaders, who taught over 40 extraordinary, inspiring sessions that focused on the theme of “Transforming Texts” and attracted over 1,500 learners!

In addition, our exhibit area was a popular destination with its displays featuring our recruitment initiatives, our groundbreaking College Commons livestreaming programs for synagogues, and our Jerusalem campus as a destination for Reform congregational visitors.

To give you a bit of the flavor of these exhilarating days of study, worship, and friendship, we invite you to watch these two short videos.
