It was during this convention that the Council of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations marked the occasion of the centenary of the United States by making a pilgrimage to the grave of President George Washington in Mount Vernon. Today’s Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) was formerly known as the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC) which was founded by Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise in 1873 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
