What is Liberal Judaism?
Liberal Judaism is the dynamic, cutting edge of modern Judaism. Liberal Judaism reverences Jewish tradition, and seeks to preserve the values of the Judaism of the past while giving them contemporary force. It aspires to a Judaism that is always an active force for good in the lives of Jewish individuals, families and communities today, and equally makes its contribution to the betterment of society.
Liberal Judaism is the Judaism of the past in the process of becoming the Judaism of the future. |

Haggadah b'Chol Dor va-Dor
A Pesach experience for all the family
Why is this Haggadah different from all other Haggadot? Because it is two Haggadot in one. Haggadah b'Chol Dor va-Dor now available for order from Liberal Judaism, or ask your local Liberal rabbi for details. The new Liberal Judaism Haggadah offers several options for conducting a Seder, both at home or in a communal setting. There are all the traditional elements of the service, and the opportunity to supplement these with additional study passages, poems, songs and readings. For families with younger children, a shorter, child-centred version of the Seder can be found at the other end of the Haggadah, ensuring that this new book will fulfill the biblical requirement to transmit the story of Pesach from generation to generation.

Rabbi Danny Rich on the JFS High Court Case |
"Liberal Judaism welcomes the decision of the Supreme Court. Liberal Judaism has consistently argued that Jewish identity is primarily about thought and deed, rather than biology. We have consistently opposed the politically motivated admissions policy of The Jewish Free School (JFS) and are saddened that the Board of Governors of JFS, along with others in the community, have created this self inflicted wound." The case, and Rabbi Rich's comments, were covered in the Jewish Chronicle's front page articles on 25th December and 8th January.
