Religious Action Center’s Moral Leadership Training

2022

$150,000

Since 2018, funding from RPF has made it possible for the Religious Action Center (RAC), the social justice hub of the Reform Jewish Movement, to strengthen rabbis’ ability to speak out and take action as moral leaders on the justice issues of our day. Building on this work, the RAC has designed a fourth moral leadership track for clergy that will focus over the next 18-months on the most urgent issues of the moment, including antisemitism, toxic polarization, and threats to our democracy. This initiative, which will include national and state-level components, will help hundreds of Jewish clergy sharpen their analysis of current issues, become more effective organizers and communicators, and hone their moral leadership with confidence and skill.
