Jewish Reconstructionist Movement PEARL Calls

The Jewish Reconstructionist Movement holds a series of PEARL calls each year. PEARL (Providing Education and Resources for Leadership) is a distance-learning program designed to provide meaningful information and strategies for congregational leaders, members, clergy, educators, and staff. Expert speakers partner with Reconstructionist movement professional staff and lay leaders to help strengthen congregations and chavurot, foster leadership, deepen Jewish spiritual life, and continue tikkun olam/social justice work.

PEARL sessions for 2013 are finished, but you can listen to more than sixty calls from 2008-2012 at www.jewishrecon.org/pearl. You can register for future PEARL calls at that link. Watch jewishrecon.org/pearl for the 2014 schedule (which had not been posted as of June 12).
