Unitarian Universalists for Jewish Awareness

Location: Home Page

Unitarian Universalists for Jewish Awareness is an organization committed to addressing the Jewish dimension of Unitarian Universalism’s multicultural challenge.

We offer resources to:

those who have come to Unitarian Universalism from Judaism
interfaith couples and families
religious professionals
anyone with a personal or spiritual interest in Jewish/UU issues, stories, heritage and resources.

We work to help people deepen their understanding of Judaism and the ways it has impacted, and can continue to develop, our Unitarian Universalist faith.

The UUJA is seeking entries for the first annual Jerry Davidoff Sermon Award!

One prize of $500 will be awarded for a sermon preached between January 2007 and December 2007 that best illustrates or exemplifies the contributions of Jewish theology, thought or culture to our liberal faith tradition.

The award is named in honor of Jerry Davidoff, an early member of this group, who has been instrumental in helping lift up the the often overlooked Jewish presence in our religious movement. UUJA offers resources to those interested in Jewish issues, celebrations and heritage, either personally or on behalf of congregations.

Entries should be submitted in Word, RTF or PDF document formats. Please send submissions to UUJA vice-president Arthur Thexton. The deadline is March 15, 2008.

Questions may be addressed to UUJA president Rev. Marti Keller.
