Text Study Union for Reform Judaism-Department of Lifelong Jewish Learning 1955 UAHC Statement of Basic Principles on the Synagogue and Social Action We are the heirs of the great Jewish Religious tradition which conceives of its ultimate goal as the establishment of God’s truth and justice on earth. The God whom we serve is a God of righteousness who would have us be holy as God is holy. The Torah which we cherish is a guide for spiritual living concerned with every aspect of human experience. The prophets of Israel, dedicated to God, and to the welfare of all people, demanded that we pursue justice, seek peace and establish good relationships among all of God’s creatures. 11 • According to this text, what is our ultimate responsibility as Jews? • What are possible issues that would compromise this goal? If this is a mission statement for the Reform Movement, how do you think this vision might be implemented through our behavior in our world today? 11 In Michael A. Meyer and W. Gunther Plaut, eds., The Reform Jewish Reader: North American Documents (New York: UAHC Press, 2001), p. 147 46
