WRJ CEO Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch reflected, “These years are marked by the resilience and advocacy of ordinary people who never ceased to demand that all of our sisters and brothers come home.”

A painful chapter for the Jewish people finally comes to a close. For 843 days, we took to the streets and demanded: bring all the hostages home, now! Women of Reform Judaism holds the family of Ran Gvili close in our hearts as his remains soon arrive in Israel for a proper burial.

Woman holding banner reading "NFTS: Women of Reform Judaism" over purple and pink background Text: Reproductive rights have always been a Jewish value

Today, we recognize what would have been the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that made abortion legal throughout the US. Banning potentially lifesaving medical procedures & interfering with a doctor’s decision-making runs contrary to the Jewish commandment to protect life.

Text: "I have faith that religious freedom guarantees the freedom to decide what is right for us based on our unique circumstances."

Faith respects freedom 🩶 Everyone should be able to make our own moral or faith-based decisions. We’re calling on our leaders to honor true religious freedom and reproductive freedom for all of us. Join us: faithfulmajority.org

Text: Trans Day of Remembrance, honoring our siblings who have lost their lives to anti-trans violence Purple outline of ribbon on sky blue and pink background

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we celebrate the lives of those who have died in transphobic attacks. In their honor, we commit to pursuing a world free of transphobia and intolerance, where people of all genders can live boldly and freely. May their memories be for a blessing.

Text: Birth control access is essential cursive text over gradient yellow to pink heart over lilac background #ThxBirthControl

Birth control is health care. It’s safety, opportunity, and choice—and it’s under attack. Since 1935, WRJ has advocated for safe and informed access to birth control. This #ThxBirthControl Day, WRJ continues the fight against misinformation and to uplift the truth: contraception changes lives!

In 1965, WRJ was the first Jewish organization to call for the decriminalization of homosexuality. Moreover, in 1997, WRJ passed a resolution calling for members to advocate for legislation that would legalize same-sex marriage. We will continue to fight for equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community.

On November 7, the Supreme Court considered a challenge to marriage equality during their private conference and ultimately decided not to move forward with reviewing the case. WRJ commends the Supreme Court for this decision and for upholding Obergefell v. Hodges.

Text: "Our voices are stronger together" Four women standing in front of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.

Our voices are stronger together. Today, as people in the US exercise their right to vote and those in Canada wrap up municipal elections, we are reminded of WRJ’s legacy. As we have affirmed for decades, we must participate in our electoral process to fulfill our tradition to seek & pursue justice.

In order to create a more just and compassionate world for all people of all backgrounds, we must ensure a democracy that works for all.

At WRJ, we know the importance of fair elections and a true representative democracy. In 1944, WRJ passed a resolution calling for an end to the poll tax and continues to call for racial equity and civil rights in our work today.

Earlier today, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments for Louisiana v. Callais. This case determines whether communities of color across the country can have meaningful representation. The promise of the VRA and right to a free, fair, and representative democracy hangs in the balance.

The Hyde Amendment bans federal insurance coverage of abortion services with narrow exceptions. On the 49th anniversary of the Hyde Amendment, we ask Congress to pass the EACH Act to repeal this harmful act and ensure every person has access to abortion coverage. www.votervoice.net/URJ/campaign...

L’shanah tovah, anyada buena, happy new year! 🎉 💜 Tonight is the beginning of Rosh HaShanah, literally translating to “head of the year,” also known as the Jewish New Year. WRJ wishes you a happy and healthy new year, and look forward to an incredible 5786! 🍎🍯

Today is International Equal Pay Day 💰 In 2025, women working full-time earn an average of 85 cents for every dollar a man makes in the US, and women of color earn even less. Learn more about how the Reform Movement is fighting for pay equity, led by WRJ, through RPEI: wrj.org/social-justi...

No employee should have to choose between their job and caring for themselves, a sick family member, or a new child. The FAMILY Act, introduced today, provides all workers with 12 weeks of partial paid family and medical leave. Urge Congress to support this bill. www.votervoice.net/URJ/campaign...

All of Israel is responsible for one another Now is not a time for blame or hesitation. It is a moment for action and accountability.

Read @lizpghirsch.bsky.social‘s reflection about the current situation in Gaza and our continued calls for an end to this war featured in eJewish Philanthropy: ejewishphilanthropy.com/all-of-israe...

Yet now more than ever, we must also heed the Talmud’s particular directive for the Jewish people: “All of Israel is responsible for one another,” (Shevuot 39a).

When Palestinian children are starving — and we’ve been shown that the hostages face the same reality, held in captivity now for 667 days — our answer is unequivocal and universal: We are responsible for each other, for every person.

Read the Movement-wide statement on starvation in Gaza: urj.org/press-room/r...

“One of the most penetrating questions of the Bible is expressed in the cry, ‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’ Judaism answers to all men and women with an unequivocal affirmative. Yes, we are responsible for others, for men, women, and children.”

Time and again, Women of Reform Judaism has spoken out against starvation, famine, and war. Our Jewish values are clear:
