We
are a progressive Jewish Congregation based in Luton and Bedford,
serving members throughout Bedfordshire as well as Buckingshire and
North Hertfordshire.
As a community within the Liberal Judaism movement we accept the
basic and essential beliefs of the Jewish faith and its practices as
revealed in the Bible and Talmud, whilst modifying those that seem
purely the products of a past era and that have been re-evaluated in
accordance with modern research and thought.
We also acknowledge the
right of the individual to a certain freedom commensurate with his or
her own conscience in today's world. We regard this as in the tradition
of the original visionary inspiration of Judaism, and necessary for its
present day vitality. Immediately noticeable is that men and women
worship together, that women participate as equals, and that
parts of
the services are read in English.
