We introduced JHR to help ease the administrative burden on congregational leaders — and it's working. In the past year, "congregations using JHR have reported having less paperwork. More time to spend on other tasks. Less stress. Better health care. They are focusing more on personal relationships within the agency and partners in the larger Jewish world."

Over 100 Jewish organizations standing up for the transgender community in this letter to members of Congress. Jewish tradition teaches that all people are created b'tzelem Elohim (in the Divine image) and are worthy of dignity and respect, and recognizes the diversity of gender identity.
Keshet, the Union for Reform Judaism, and 100+ additional Jewish organizations sent a letter to members of Congress in opposition to H.R. 28/S. 9, an anti-transgender sports ban. Driven by our Jewish values, we are committed to supporting laws that protect the civil rights and individual liberties of all people. Rather than protecting transgender children, this bill would do harm by banning transgender women and girls from participating in school sports teams consistent with their gender identity. Join us in standing up for our trans community. Send a message to your representatives with just one click: p2a.co/FYnJeaK.
