Big News! Nafshenu's core team is considering joining Reconstructing Judaism (RJ), and we need your feedback before making a final decision. First of all - what is the Reconstructionist Movement?
From the RJ website - "Reconstructionists approach Judaism – and life –with deep consideration for the past and a passion to relate it to the present. In a rapidly changing world, Reconstructionist communities share and create new ways of being Jewish to connect us to the Divine and
ensure our lives are filled with joy, community, meaning, and purpose."
Does that sound familiar? If so, it's probably because these words are echoed in our own mission statement:
Nafshenu seeks to reclaim and reimagine Judaism in an ever changing modern world. We believe that Judaism can and must be relevant and spiritual, provide inspirational learning, build organic community, and be a powerful voice for social change.
At our Annual Meeting on September 19th, we were lucky to have Rabbi Maurice Harris join us to speak more about about what affiliation with Reconstructing Judaism means. Rabbi Harris is the Associate Director for Thriving Communities at Reconstructing Judaism - check out his bio here.
