This article is about the British denomination. For Liberal Judaism in general, see Reform Judaism.
Liberal Judaism (formerly, until 2002: Union of Liberal and Progressive Synagogues) is one of the two WUPJ-affiliated denominations in the United Kingdom founded by Claude Montefiore.[2] It is smaller and more radical in comparison with the other one, the Movement for Reform Judaism. It is considered ideologically closer to American Reform Judaism than it is to the British Reform movement.[3] As of 2010 it was the fourth largest Jewish religious group in Britain, with 8.7% of synagogue-member households.
