Brit Olam - Covenant with Our World
The Brit Olam is a guidepost and a framework, helping congregations move social justice closer to the center of their communities. It is a tool to help your leadership strengthen congregational social justice endeavors, engage more members in this important work, and connect your congregation more deeply to our Movement’s social justice priorities.
The Brit Olam can support your leadership in facilitating a conversation among key stakeholders about your community’s social justice efforts. Going through the process of signing the Brit Olam, with the support of text-based resources, can help to advance your social justice goals and inspire moral leadership and congregational action. To date, nearly 250 congregations across North America have signed the Brit Olam. To learn more and to engage your leadership in a conversation about signing on, please visit the Brit Olam Communities Group in the Tent.
