Mission Statement:
Founded in 1913 by Dr. Solomon Schecter as the association of Conservative synagogues in North America, the USCJ, through its numerous programs and publications, serves as a resource to its affiliated congregations and works to formulate a conservative Jewish response to pressing social and religious issues. The United Synagogue, which works actively in the areas of educational programming and youth activities, also maintains an active presence in the State of Israel. Among other activities, the UCSJ offers: USY and Kadima for teens; KOACH for college-age members; curricula development, administrative assistance, and teachers training for Solomon Schechter Day schools and congregational schools; programming guidance on public policy issues, including child welfare and the environment; synagogue-based training of congregational leaders; IMUN and SULAM leadership programs.
