New Paths Toward a Jewish Summer – Reform Experiences Move Online
When in-person summer camping couldn’t proceed due to the pandemic, the Union for Reform Judaism switched gears and rolled out RJ on the Go , an interactive platform for families seeking Jewish meaning, purpose, and joy this summer.
COVID-19 has affected every single one of us. The Union for Reform Judaism was forced to pivot and figure out the ways to meet people quite literally where they are (quarantined at home) while staying true to the values around the importance of personal connections, experiential learning, and joyful Judaism.
While nothing can replace the feeling of being together in person, the Union for Reform Judaism is introducing several exciting opportunities to connect families to Jewish life in a new way this summer.
