Voting is a Jewish Value!
Voting is a Jewish Value!
Voting is one of the most powerful ways we help shape the future of our communities and protect the democratic values that allow every voice to be heard.Â
For Reform Jews, civic participation is more than a right; it is an expression of our values. Our tradition teaches us to pursue tzedek (justice), practice areivut (mutual responsibility), and work to protect and improve the lives of others. The decisions made by our elected leaders affect issues ranging from education and public safety to healthcare, civil rights, and religious freedom. By voting, we help fulfill our responsibility to strengthen our communities and advance a more just society.
Temple Beth El’s Protecting Democracy Social Justice Circle, in partnership with the Reform Movement’s Every Voice, Every Vote Campaign, is committed to helping every eligible person participate in the democratic process. Whether you are voting by mail, voting early, or voting on Election Day, we hope the resources below make it easy for you to make your voice heard.
