Jewish Reconstructionist Federation

Honor Rabbi Jeff with a personal message in our National Tribute Journal by May 19thThis year the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation is delighted to be honoring Rabbi Jeff Eisenstat for his outstanding work and his unending efforts to develop strongly-identified Reconstructionist Jewish youth.

Rabbi Jeff exemplifies the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt: “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.” He connects our young people with experiences that foster within them a curiosity and appreciation for their Judaism. As the founding director of Camp JRF, he established an experiential Jewish education curriculum based on Reconstructionism’s “Values of Spiritual Peoplehood” that makes Judaism fun and resonates with our youth. Rabbi Jeff was instrumental in helping to establish Camp JRF as one of the “Top Ten” Jewish overnight camps in the United States.

In his new position as Director of Special Initiatives, Rabbi Jeff is taking his show on the road to JRF congregations across the country, supporting and furthering JRF’s strategic vision for developing the Next Generation of Reconstructionist youth and the future of Reconstructionist Judaism.

We hope you will join us in this wonderful opportunity by placing a heartfelt message to Rabbi Jeff in the National Tribute Journal. Rabbi Jeff has done so much to enrich our movement and ensure its vitality for the future. We have been having a wonderful time honoring him throughout this year.
