Page "Liberal Judaism" Paragraph 1

To quote the Movement's website, " It reverences Jewish tradition, and seeks to preserve all that is good in the Judaism of the past.

But it lives in the present.

It desires that Judaism shall be an active force for good in the lives of Jewish individuals, families and communities today, and that it shall make its contribution to the betterment of human society.

And it stresses " the full equality and participation of men and women in every sphere of religious life ; an emphasis on ethical conduct above ritual observance ; an affirmation of each individual's freedom to act responsibly in accordance with the dictates of the informed religious conscience ; a pride in combining our Jewish heritage with full participation in the civic life of this country ; and an awareness of our duty not only to the Jewish people and to the State of Israel, but also to the entire human family, each one of whom is created in the Divine image ".
