Women of Reform Judaism
Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ), formerly known as the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods, is the women's affiliate of the Union for Reform Judaism. As the primary women's organization in the Reform Jewish movement, WRJ represents over 65,000 women. WRJ advocates for social justice, raises funds for charities and rabbinic scholarships, and educates congregational leaders.〔http://www.womenofreformjudaism.org/〕
==Notable Contributions==
In 1972, the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods was instrumental in the ordination of the first American female rabbi, Sally Priesand. In 1963 the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods had approved a resolution at its biennial assembly calling on the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (now the Union for Reform Judaism), the Central Conference of American Rabbis, and the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion to move forward on the ordination of women.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Reform Judaism leader Jane Evans argues for ordination of women rabbis )〕
The YES Fund (Youth, Education, and Special Projects), maintained by WRJ, provides support to North American Federation of Temple Youth, the Hebrew Union College, the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, and many other organizations and charities. WRJ also supports Abraham Geiger College, the first seminary to ordain a Rabbi in Germany since World War II.
''The Torah: A Women's Commentary'' recently won the Everett Family Foundation Jewish Book of the Year award. This counterpart to ''The Torah: A Modern Commentary'' gives a new perspective on women in the Torah. ''A Women's Commentary'' is a scholarly work, written by Jewish women, that gives voices to the women in the Torah and gives a woman's perspective on these classical stories. The book began as a WRJ project in 1992 and was published in 2008 with URJ Press.〔The Torah: A Women's Commentary, Ed. Dr. Tamara Cohn Ezkenazi & Rabbi Andrea L.
