A unique online series that will delve into the rich history and core values of Liberal, Reform and Progressive Judaism in the UK.

Over 10 weekly hour-long Zoom sessions, starting on Thursday 2 January 2025, we’ll explore the lives and legacies of 10 significant individuals who have shaped the development of the Judaism we know and love today.

Led by renowned rabbis, each session offers a deep, engaging exploration of how these figures contributed to the evolution of Progressive Jewish thought, practice, community and movement.

Whether you’re new to Jewish studies, seeking to deepen your understanding or just interested in these important historical figures, this series will illuminate the shared ideals and transformative journeys that have shaped Progressive Judaism.

Sessions take place on Thursday nights from 7-8pm via Zoom. They are free and open to all – and you can take part in as few or as many as you wish.
