Forget schisms. How about a religious merger? Two liberal Jewish denominations in Britain voted on Sunday to join forces to create a new more powerful voice for non-orthodox Jews Read how Progressive Judaism came to be: thetimes.com/uk/religion/ar…
The history of religious institutions is one of repeated splits and schisms... But Britain's two biggest non-orthodox Jewish movements have bucked that trend by merging Reform Judaism and Liberal Judaism have joined forces to become Progressive Judaism: thetimes.com/uk/religion/ar…
Thank you

Rabbi Charley Baginsky and Rabbi Josh Levy (@ChiefExecRabbis) have written a reflection ahead of Sunday’s votes to create one unified Progressive Judaism - telling how it is our opportunity to choose a future together. Read their words here: liberaljudaism.org/2025/05/toward…
So important to see meetings like this happening.
Good to meet in London with the @boardofdeputies, discussing how the majority in Israel supports ending the war, and the urgency of securing humanitarian aid to the starving civilians in Gaza, where a catastrophe unfolds. Action is needed to promote safety, peace and justice.

Progressive Judaism is deeply saddened by the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. We extend our condolences to our Catholic friends and to all who mourn his loss, holding in our thoughts those for whom his leadership and compassion were a source of hope and inspiration.
The Board of Deputies was delighted to partner with the @JLC_uk and @JW3London, for a fascinating conversation between @RabbiCosgrove of @ParkAvenueSyn, Manhattan, and Rabbi Miriam Berger of @FinchleyReform, to discuss Rabbi Cosgrove's latest book, "In Such a Time as This".
