Principles for Reform Judaism

An Updated Statement of Principles for Reform Judaism was adopted at the 1999 Pittsburgh convention.

Among the important Principles are the following:
“We are an inclusive community,opening doors to Jewish life to people of all ages, to varied kinds of families, to all regardless of their sexual orientation, to gerim – those who have converted to Judaism, and to all individuals and families, including the intermarried, who strive to create a a Jewish home. We pledge to fulfill Reform Judaism’s historic commitment to the complete equality of women and men in Jewish life. We are obligated to pursue tzedek, Justice, and righteousness, and to narrow the gap between the affluent and the poor, to act against discrimination and oppression, to pursue peace, to welcome the stranger, to protect the earth’s biodiversity and natural resources, and to redeem those in physical, economic and spiritual bondage.”
