Liturgy
HCRJ retains its Classical Reform philosophy through the use of a
modernized edition of the Union Prayer Book. It contains extensive
transliteration of most of the Hebrew prayers, thereby enabling those
who do not read Hebrew to participate in the liturgy. We encourage you
to discover within its pages a fresh approach and a return to the ideals of
Reform Judaism.
