Movement for Reform Judaism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Movement for Reform Judaism (until June 2005, Reform Synagogues of Great Britain) is the main organizational body of the Jewish Reform community in Great Britain.
The first Reform congregations in Great Britain appeared in West London and Manchester in the mid-19th century. By 1942, when the first organizational body was formed, the number of Reform Jewish communities had increased to 6. This body, Associated British Synagogues, evolved into the more nation-focused Associated Synagogues of Great Britain, and in 1958 stabilized into Reform Synagogues of Great Britain, a name which would last until 2005.
Among the Movement for Reform Judaism's stated aims is revitalizing Jewish community involvement among British Jews, with particular focus on children, teenagers and families where one member of the couple is not halachically Jewish.
