A Landmark Moment in British Jewish History as the new Progressive Movement forms
On Sunday 18 May 2025 in a history-defining moment, member communities of the Britain’s Liberal Judaism and Movement for Reform Judaism voted to unite into one Progressive Judaism for the UK. The decision was made at two parallel Extraordinary General Meetings (EGMs), with the number of votes in favour at each exceeding 95%.
The new Progressive Judaism will be the UK’s largest synagogal movement in terms of the number of communities and will represent 1/3 of synagogue affiliated Jews.
Liberal Judaism Chair and LJS Member, Karen Newman said: “Our new Progressive Judaism, just like the two movements which have come together to create it, will manifest from day one its commitment to a Judaism that is non-dogmatic, inclusive and celebrates diversity in policy, prayer, and practice.”
The LJS is both delighted and excited to be part of this momentous event. Read the full Progressive Movement press release here and the timeline of Progressive Judaism here.
