Welcome to the WRJ Northeast District
Welcome to Women of Reform Judaism's Northeast District. Women of Reform Judaism, an affiliate of the Union for Reform Judaism, is the collective voice and presence of women in congregational life. Stronger together, we support the ideals and enhance the quality of Jewish living to ensure the future of progressive Judaism in North America, Israel and around the world.
The Northeast District is one of eight districts of Women of Reform Judaism. It is composed of 90 affiliate Sisterhoods representing approximately 11,000 women that come from New York and New England in the United States and Ontario and Quebec in Canada.
The Northeast District serves as a link or liaison between the many local sisterhoods and WRJ. We are here to encourage understanding and support of the programs, activities, and projects of WRJ and to provide direct services to our district sisterhoods.
