Reconstructing Judaism serves as the primary coordinating body for the Reconstructionist movement and is based in Wyncote, Pennsylvania. It trains future rabbis, supports congregations and havurot, and fosters emerging expressions of Jewish life, guiding the community to consider tradition alongside present-day needs. The organization emphasizes drawing on historical practice while pursuing relevance, contributing to innovations that have helped shape modern Reconstructionist Judaism.

As a small- to mid-sized religious institution, it serves Reconstructionist congregations, havurot, and individuals seeking Jewish life within the movement. A recent development is the appointment of Rabbi Elliott Tepperman as President and Chief Executive Officer in May 2026, marking a leadership transition for the organization.
