"We
wish to thank MRJ for sponsoring our program which was a resounding success.
Our objective was to unite the Jewish community in a pro-active celebration
of Jerusalem and Judaism; to create a festival that would attract all
of the Jewish students on campus and offer them an atmosphere where they
could have fun while learning a great deal about our unique heritage,
religion, culture and ethnicity..." -
student spokesman for University of Florida, Gainesville, recipient of

– students were thrilled about this program.”

MRJ's Reform on Campus Program (ROC), provides direct financial grants
to groups that seek to strengthen Reform Judaism on college campuses.
MRJ'sgoal is to encourage the creation of quality programs of Jewish
content that will appeal to a broad range ofReform college students. ROC
funds make possible student initiated creative shabbats and retreats,
opportunities to bring noted speakers to campus, initiation of social
action programs, and make prayer books available. First initiated in 1994,
over 300 campuses have been recipients of MRJ/ROC grants.
