Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ) invites you to attend the Rabbi Marla J. Feldman Social Justice Conference on April 4–7, 2025, in Washington, DC. Jane Taves, one of our own Temple Beth El Sisterhood members, is a co-chair of this conference and would love to have you join her for what promises to be a remarkable experience. Registration is open now!

Learn more and register for the Social Justice Conference: https://wrj.org/sjc2025

As a community, we will learn about and take action on many issues which reflect our Jewish values. These include reproductive rights, protecting democracy, preventing violence against women, climate change, protecting our Reform values in Israel, and more.

During four busy days, you will hear from high-profile keynote speakers, participate in workshops, celebrate a beautiful Shabbat, and link arms to visit Capitol Hill together to lobby our elected officials.

Who should attend this conference?
This conference is designed for everyone with an interest in the issues of our day. If this is your first social justice experience, this conference is designed for you. We will provide training and support for all who are venturing into this arena for the first time. And if you are an experienced social justice advocate, you will find experiences and resources to energize your work and bring home specific actions.

The full conference is intended for everyone who identifies as female, nonbinary, or gender fluid. And on Sunday afternoon, the third day of the conference, we will welcome everyone in the Reform movement, including those who identify as male and those who are not able to attend the entire conference, to join us for a movement-wide “fly-in” day of action.

Who is organizing the conference?
WRJ is planning this conference in close partnership with the Union for Reform Judaism’s Religious Action Center (RAC) and leveraging all of the RAC’s expertise and networks. This will be the only social justice conference in 2025 throughout the Reform movement. 

Check your calendars! We hope you can join Jane and others from TBE for this inspiring event.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss further, please be in touch with Jane Taves at jtaves3@gmail.com or 608-239-3148.
