What Is Reform Judaism?

Reform Judaism is a modern, inclusive expression of Jewish life rooted in tradition and guided by values of compassion, learning, justice, and community.

At TRS, Reform Judaism means:

  • Asking meaningful questions
  • Honoring tradition while embracing contemporary life
  • Welcoming people of all backgrounds, identities, and family structures
  • Living our values through worship, learning, and action

There’s no single way you’re expected to believe or practice in order to belong.
