We seek to be a fully inclusive community.
People of all backgrounds, ages, genders, identities and levels of Jewish knowledge and creative practice are warmly welcome to our programs. We encourage writers who identify as BIJOC (Black Indigenous Jews of Color), Mizrahi/Sephardi, LGBTQ+, interfaith, low-income and disabled to join us.
Please note that this year we have increased our prices in order to increase the rate we pay our faculty. We continue to offer an array of free programming to be accessible to all. If you have financial need or any questions, please reach out to us at ritualwell@reconstructingjudaism.org.
All our programs take place online. All learning sessions are recorded and made available to registrants. For up-to-date announcements on our programming, please subscribe to our newsletter.
Our programming calendar runs from October 2022 through June 2023. Curious what this is all about? Register for a free open house session on September 7, 14 and 21 to get a taste of our offerings.
