Join the UTJ for 5784

Dear Friends of UTJ:

For four decades, the Union for Traditional Judaism has provided a spiritual home for thousands of people. In both physical and virtual settings, UTJ has offered a “makom” (a central place) to celebrate our heritage, engage with religious texts, embrace the spiritual masters who inspired our founding, and enjoy friendship, wherever we reside.

 Over the past three years, the UTJ has successfully pivoted toward digital programming, hosting more than 30 Zoomcasts covering a wide range of subjects, including classes on prayer and the Jewish festivals, genealogy and how to learn more about your past, Bible, and Talmud.

In 2023, we have expanded our Zoom programming from dynamic topics to regular series. We are excited to introduce a weekly class on the Talmud led by renowned scholar and UTJ President, Rabbi David Novak. Registration is free: Learning Talmud with Rabbi David Novak.

Through these programs, as well as our website and social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and now Threads!), we are proud to say that UTJ’s Torah is available to everyone around the world, at a click of a button.  But there is much in store for UTJ as we work to amplify UTJ’s unique message. We invite you to be our partners in that mission!

As we celebrate 5784, we welcome you to invest in our programming and celebrate open-minded, intellectually honest, halakhic Judaism.  To donate, click I Want to Support the UTJ. 

Wishing you and your loved ones a happy, healthy and joyous 5784. Ketivah v’chatima tovah (May you be written and sealed for a good new year). 

Rabbi David Novak, UTJ President
Rabbi Gerald Sussman, UTJ Executive Vice President
Rabbi Ronald D. Price, UTJ Executive Vice President, Emeritus

PS: We are excited to announce the forthcoming publication of Divrei Halev by UTJ Executive Vice President Emeritus Rabbi Ronald Price. The volume is based on the insights of our beloved founder and spiritual leader Rabbi David Halivni ztz”l on the weekly Torah portions.  For a limited time, a membership contribution of $180 or more will entitle one to receive a copy of Divrei Halev upon its publication, slated for early to mid 2024.
