The Movement for Reform Judaism

Communities from Holland, France and Switzerland were represented alongside people from all over England – to learn from a wide range of diverse subjects, such as Anti-Semitism and the Boycott; Israeli Dance; Is God in the Diaspora? and Creating Visions of Israel. Presenters included Rabbi Danny Rich, Director of Liberal Judaism; Rabbi Professor Marc Saperstein, Principal of Leo Baeck College and Ellaya Ayal Mor, storyteller.

Golda Zafer-Smith, Interim Director of LBC’s Department of Education & Professional Development said: “It was inspiring to celebrate the 60 years of Israel’s statehood with 150 educators from 34 diverse communities who spanned the full age range and enjoyed each other’s company”

“Humorous, engaging speaker, giving lots of food for thought” said Joan Melcher, from Brighton & Hove Reform Synagogue, of Rabbi Elliott Kleinman, Director of Program for the Union for Reform Judaism in the USA, who led the keynote speech and two further sessions during the day.
