Make your impact at Reconstructing Judaism

Your support powers Reconstructionist communities, educates innovative rabbis, connects Jewish seekers online, promotes justice rooted in Jewish values and more. Thank you.

In a time when so many are weary and anxious, our movement is helping people find joy — not by turning away from the world’s pain, but by facing it together.

Reconstructing Judaism offers joyful, thoughtful, and resilient homes for Jews and those who love us — especially for those who have not always felt they had a place in Jewish life.

Together, your support helps Reconstructing Judaism deepen its impact by:

Supporting more than 90 congregations and havurot and helping them grow and thrive, while navigating difficult conversations with compassion and integrity.

Welcoming and offering groundbreaking spiritual and intellectual richness to thousands of seekers through our Ritualwell and Evolve portals.

Bringing people together in song, learning, and solidarity — from virtual programs to in-person gatherings — to affirm that community and hope are stronger than despair.
Building for the future as we guide the students currently studying at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College to lead with empathy and creativity amid division and fear.

We still love snail mail! Please make checks out to: Reconstructing Judaism at 1299 Church Road, Wyncote, PA 19095.
