Progressive Judaism
We bring together timeless Jewish tradition with the diversity, creativity and values of 21st century Jewish life.
What is Progressive Judaism?
We have synagogues and communities all across the UK and Ireland, each rooted in local identity and strengthened by being part of something larger.
​
Progressive Judaism is inclusive and egalitarian in every aspect of what we do. We welcome individuals, couples and families of all backgrounds and identities, meeting people where they are and supporting them in the Jewish journeys they choose.
Our mission is to strengthen communities, inspire the next generation, amplify Progressive voices and open doors to Jewish life. Everything we do flows from these.
Movement for Progressive Judaism
​
At the heart of everything The Movement for Progressive Judaism does are four core commitments:
​
Strengthen communities
Support for rabbis, lay leaders and community teams; governance guidance; training; and help with services and community life – including funerals, pastoral care and moments when our presence matters most.
Inspire the next generation
Youth and student programmes, education, B’ Mitzvah pathways, camps, leadership opportunities and spaces where young people can explore, question and grow.
Amplify Progressive voices
Our work in public life, interfaith partnerships, social justice, national representation and standing up for our values in wider society.
Open doors to Jewish life
Accessible, inclusive pathways into Judaism; weddings, conversions, Jewish learning, and support for anyone seeking a meaningful connection to Jewish tradition, ritual and community.
