Title
Unitarian Universalists for Jewish Awareness
Description
In addition to some remarkable programs at General Assembly in recent years, we are also monitoring the UUA’s work on multiculturalism to see whether Jewish heritage and faith traditions are being included in our headquarters’ work in this area. We are in dialogue with staff members there and are working to create more inclusion of the many gifts Jewish tradition has to offer.
We’re currently working on establishing even more ways to serve UU congregations and religious leaders. We’re working on connecting with the UUMA (UU Minister’s Association), LREDA (Liberal Religious Educators Association) and UUA lay organizations to offer programs and resources on Jewish-UU connections and issues.. We encourage all lay people and clergy to learn about similarities between the faiths, to explore rituals and history in Judaism that can inform our own religious tradition..
Our newsletter, the Burning Bush will be coming out regularly next year. It’s a venue for updates on UUJA initiatives, as well as contributions in the form of essays, reflections, poetry, and announcements of events. It’s also an important connection with our non-online members and friends.
