SoJust
SoJust: Am Shalom's Social Justice Initiatives

Am Shalom has joined over 250 Reform congregations in North America by committing to the Brit Olam (Covenant with the World) of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. The RAC has fought for social justice in America for more than 60 years.
We also partner with the Religious Action Center of Illinois (RAC-IL) and The Jewish Council on Urban Affairs (JCUA) to advocate for justice for immigrants, criminal justice reform, civic engagement, and other issues.
Our efforts are non-partisan. Rather we align with Jewish values. The Torah insists, “Justice, justice you shall pursue." (Deuteronomy 16:20).

Intro to Judaism is an engaging multi-session course for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of Jewish life. Discover what could be meaningful to you in liberal Judaism. This course is designed for individuals and couples from various faith traditions and cultural backgrounds and those who have had no religious upbringing. It is perfect for interfaith couples, those raising Jewish children, spiritual seekers, individuals considering conversion, and Jews who want a meaningful adult Jewish learning experience. All people, perspectives, and questions are welcome. Our classes will be held at a rotation of all the participating North Shore synagogues: Congregation BJBE (Deerfield), Am Shalom (Glencoe), North Shore Congregation Israel (Glencoe), Temple Jeremiah (Northfield), and Sukkat Shalom (Wilmette). https://templejeremiah.shulcloud.com/form/intro-to-judaism---north-shore-consortium-2026.html -
