We Need To Talk About ….. Progressive Judaism (19:30)
We Need To Talk About … is a series of evenings where we come together to discuss issues facing our community with experts in the field. Since March 2023, the Movement for Reform Judaism and Liberal Judaism have been moving towards combining and formation of a new movement: Progressive Judaism. The combination is now close to being a reality and the movements will soon be turning to their members (the communities that make up the movements) to vote on this integration. This evening will be an opportunity to learn about Alyth’s place in the history of Progressive Judaism and to ask questions of our Rabbis and members of our community who are involved in the process at Reform Judaism. We are delighted to be joined by Rabbi Rebecca Birk, Rabbi of Finchley Progressive Synagogue, who will provide an insight into how her Liberal community is approaching this change.
There will be an opportunity to speak with our Alyth Trustees about the combination before we move forward as a community. This event will take place on Monday 28 April – more details to follow in Around Alyth. As always, our clergy and professional team and Alyth trustees are available to talk to you about any questions or concerns you may have. Please be in touch.
