United Synagogue for Conservative Judaism
Our Vision:
The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism promotes the role of the synagogue in Jewish life in order to motivate Conservative Jews to perform mitzvot (commandments) encompassing ethical behavior, spirituality, Judaic learning, and ritual observance.
Our Mission:
- The mission of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism is to strengthen and serve our congregations and their members.
- We create, develop and disseminate educational, religious and tikun olam (repairing the world) programming to meet the needs of our congregations and their members.
- We seek to create communities of Conservative congregations in each of our regions and throughout North America.
- We work in concert with other institutions and organizations of the Conservative Movement to promote, nurture and foster a vibrant Movement.
- We are both an advocate and a spokesperson for the congregations of the Conservative Movement.
- We are dedicated to strengthening the connections between North American Conservative Jews, the Jewish People and the State of Israel.
USCJ was active internationally through protests and resolutions during the darkness of the Holocaust; it spoke out vigorously on behalf of freedom for Soviet and Syrian Jewry; and it continues to become involved in pressing issues that relate to world Jewry. As an activist Jewish organization, the United Synagogue has established a tradition of reaching out to those in need.
