Young Adults
Young Adults
The Movement for Reform Judaism recognises that young adults - often defined as those between the ages of 18 and 35 - engage with Jewish life in a variety of different ways. Some of these ways of engaging involve synagogues and participation in synagogue life. For others, their engagement with Jews and all things Jewish may not be so familiar.
Jeneration
The Reform Movement was instrumental in setting up Jeneration, a pluralist initiative for students and young adults. Jeneration is now working in partnership with Liberal Judaism and is also collaborating with the Assembly of Masorti Synagogues on specific projects where collective interests are better served by working together.
High Holy Day Tickets
An important piece of outreach work is the annual High Holy Day free pass scheme. The scheme, which is unique to the Movement for Reform Judaism, is an opportunity for young adults to attend services, as well as an opportunity for the shuls involved to showcase themselves and seek further engagement. Almost 300 students and young adults benefited from the scheme in 2009.
Synagogues
Many of our communities offer programming for young adults including parallel and alternative services, Friday night dinners and social events. Visit our synagogue listings to find out more about communities near you.
