Welcoming the stranger, or immigrant, is a core part of Jewish tradition, mentioned 36 times in the Torah. Leviticus commands, "The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love them as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt" (19:33-34). Our own people's history as "strangers" reminds us of the many struggles faced by immigrants today and we affirm our commitment to create the same opportunities for today's immigrants that were so valuable to our own community not so many years ago.
The Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) and Religious Action Center (RAC) oppose the anti-immigrant rhetoric and executive orders issued by the Trump administration. Below is a background on recent Reform Movement statements, longstanding Reform Movement policies, and opportunities for action by individuals, congregations, and communities.
