JRF has now restructured
On June 3 a Plenum was held across the globe where delegates overwhelmingly voted to approve the restructuring of the movement by unifying the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation (JRF) and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College (RRC).
RRC will now begin running programs formerly offered by JRF, said Rabbi Dan Ehrenkrantz. He went on to say that he looked forward to the “creative possibilities before us, now that we’ve brought together our training of tomorrow’s rabbis and our administration of services we offer the community today.”
The changes were immediate. A new board is in the process of being formed and should be filled as quickly as possible to assure that all services will be met relative to both congregations and clergy.
The movement will launch a new website by August to reflect all of the changes. The current site may be reached at jrg.org. Once the changeover is made, it will be jewishrecon.org. Additionally, more information will be made available in August with regard to program offerings.
