Assembly of Reform Rabbis UK
Assembly of Reform Rabbis UK
Definition:
This is the professional body to which all Reform rabbis in the UK belong. The Assembly discusses matters of a religious nature and helps create ritual policy for the Movement for Reform Judaism. Such policies are discussed and decided upon collectively, as there is no central authority vested in a single person, such as a chief rabbi, within the Movement for Reform Judaism. It also provides a means of collegial professional support and debate for the movement’s rabbis. Prior to 2008, this body was called the Assembly of Rabbis.

The Movement for Reform Judaism does not consider this text to constitute the definitive answer on this subject. We believe that Judaism is a living, evolving faith and, as such, there is no 'final word' on Jewish texts, traditions and thought.
