Dear Friends of UTJ:
On behalf of the UTJ and its Board of Directors, please accept our fond wishes for a happy and healthy Jewish new year 5779.
We hope you share our excitement about UTJ’s recent successes. It is only through your support and interest that we have been able to achieve so much over the years, and we hope that you are interested in continuing to support our mission.
In the past couple of years, we have held informative conferences on the Conversion Crisis and on the Shidduch Crisis and intermarriage (links are to full video). We launched our new UTJ and Kosher Nexus websites. The UTJ Viewpoints section of our website contains both new and classic articles and videos representing UTJ’s passionate advocacy for an open-minded approach to Torah study and observance of Jewish law (Halakhah) rooted in classical religious sources and informed by modern scholarship. We have an active Facebook community in the form of our UTJ Facebook page and discussion group as well as the Kosher Nexus facebook page. In short, because of your investment in UTJ our Torah has reached thousands of people in the last years and our reach increases on a regular basis.
Where is the UTJ heading in the next year? A large part of that answer depends on you. Shortly after the High Holidays we plan to forward to you a survey that is designed to help you share your thoughts with us about how UTJ can best deploy its energies and what part you can would like to play in those efforts. We hope that you will invest the time in responding to that survey when you receive it. For now, we humbly ask for you to make a down-payment on your commitment to the UTJ’s future by making a donation to the UTJ in the form of membership dues for 5779.
To join us, please make your membership donation online or mail it to
