Opening Doors to Jewish Life
One of the four key missions of The Movement for Progressive Judaism is to foster inclusion, provide resources and pave the way for those seeking to join us.
We believe everyone who wants to engage with Jewish life should receive a welcoming and supportive response.
This mission is central because outreach represents a growth opportunity for UK Progressive Judaism, including reaching the 75,000 Jewish households not currently affiliated with a synagogue.
How The Movement for Progressive Judaism delivers this mission:
Supporting status journeys
Supporting and resourcing a responsive, welcoming Beit Din / Batei Din, and providing assistance for communities with converts or part-time or no clergy.
Gateway for lifecycle support
Providing resources, guidance and information for those seeking to enter Jewish life during lifecycle events, including baby blessings, B’ Mitzvah, marriage and death.
Developing new communities
Conducting demographic research and providing strategies and resources to help establish new communities in areas with emerging Jewish populations.
Supporting outreach programs
Offering key workers and resources to assist existing communities in developing and expanding outreach programmes and strategies.
