USCJ’S PROJECT RECONNECT PARTNERS WITH SYNAGOGUES TO OFFER FREE
HIGH HOLIDAY TICKETS TO CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT ALUMNI

NEW YORK – The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism’s Project Reconnect has teamed up with Conservative synagogues throughout North America and Israel to offer free High Holiday tickets to 20- and 30-somethings who have been involved with programs run by the Conservative movement.

United Synagogue, working with NAASE, the North American Association of Synagogue Executives, launched Project Reconnect in an effort to reconnect alumni of USY, Atid, Koach, Nativ, the Conservative Yeshiva, Camp Ramah, the Solomon Schechter schools, and other Conservative movement youth programs.

Now, alumni are urged to go to the Project Reconnect website, www.projectreconnect.org, as soon as possible for information on the free High Holiday tickets offered as part of Project Reconnect’s “Come Home for the Holidays” initiative. The website contains an extensive list of contact information for Conservative congregations throughout the country.

“Project Reconnect’s mission is to reinvolve, reinvigorate, and reconnect the very many Jewish adults who were touched by the Conservative movement’s programs for teenagers, college students and young adults. This year, as part of Project Reconnect’s effort to get those who grew up in the Conservative movement to come home for the holidays, regardless of their affiliation today, we are offering free High Holiday tickets,” said Project Reconnect’s chair, Jackie Saltz. “The perceived high cost of High Holiday tickets could be a turn-off to young adults. As a result, we are seizing the opportunity to let them reconnect with their Conservative roots for free as we usher in the New Year. The concept of reconnecting is especially timely at this time of year since we focus on teshuva, a return to our roots and to God, during the High Holiday season,” she added.

The Conservative Jewish movement in Israel, Masorti, also is part of the initiative. “Come Home for the Holidays” matches alumni with Israeli families for home hospitality on holidays or Shabbat.
