Keruv Outreach Resource Library

Welcome To Keruv – Outreach Resources for Reconstructionist Congregations
With generous support from the UJA-Federation of New York, The JRF of NY/NJ is excited to present the Keruv/OUTREACH Project. Keruv worked with select JRF congregations to create protocols and programs that help strengthen outreach efforts to unaffiliated families and individuals. The following resources were developed to build an inclusive and welcoming home for unaffiliated people who desire meaningful connection to their surrounding communities, the Jewish people, and the world at large.

These high-quality outreach materials are presented here for your use. You will also find instructional and educational materials to guide and assist you in your community-building efforts.

Please consider submitting your outreach success stories to share with all our member congregations by clicking on the button at the top right of this page.

Michael Clancy of the Canadian ad agency Brandworks has generously donated his time and resources to developing new marketing and branding materials for JRF and our congregations. He presented his marketing concepts at our JRF Convention in November to rave reviews. Our goal is to turn the ideas put forth in this presentation into tangible, fill-in-the-blank-with-the-name-of-your-congregation marketing materials for our communities. This process is underway, and we anticipate the first wave of materials being ready for distribution in mid-2011.
