Founded in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1913 as the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods
(NFTS), Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ) is a national organization representing
100,000 women in 600 local Sisterhoods throughout the United States, Canada, and
thirteen other countries. It is affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ),
the central body of Reform Judaism in North America.
The District 3 Sisterhood was formed in 1922. It encompasses Batavia, Buffalo,
Chappaqua, New York City, Niagara Falls, Plattsburgh, Rochester, Schenectady,
Westchester, and many other areas in the state of New York.
In 2006, WRJ began merging some districts and renaming them by their geographical
location. The WRJ Northeast District was formed through a consolidation of District
1 (New England Region) and District 3 (New York, Eastern Canada, and the Virgin
Islands) in 2008. The Northeast District is one of eight districts of Women of
Reform Judaism. It is composed of 79 affiliate Sisterhoods representing
approximately 11,000 women that come from New York and New England in the United
States and Ontario and Quebec in Canada.
The Women of Reform Judaism. Northeast District records (1924-2008) contain Biennial
convention programs, executive board minutes, reports and recommendations to the
executive board, newsletters and other material related to the Women of Reform
Judaism, District 3.
