“Sometimes, a flame can be utterly extinguished. Sometimes, a flame can shrink and waver, but sometimes a flame refuses to go out. It flares up from the faintest ember to illuminate the darkness, to burn in spite of overwhelming odds.”

Dear Friends,

Unitarian Universalists for Jewish Awareness (UUJA) is committed to supporting Unitarian Universalist Jewish multi-religiosity.

We offer resources to:
-those who have come to Unitarian Universalism from Judaism
-interfaith/multi-religious individuals and families
-religious professionals
-anyone with a personal or spiritual interest in Jewish UU theology, stories, heritage and resources.

UUJA is dedicated to providing a safe space for those who self describe as having a Jewish identity within Unitarian Universalism. We work to help others to understand Judaism and the ways it has impacted and continues to develop our Unitarian Universalist faith.

During this time of year of giving we ask you to consider making a donation to support our work. We are a volunteer led organization and all donations will go towards programming.
