  • Gender and Profound Changes in European Judaism
    Religion and gender in Europe Gender and profound changes in European Judaism Béatrice DE GASQUET ABSTRACT The role of Jewish women and men in European societies has undergone profound changes over the last two centuries. Their gradual equality of rights with non-Jews—in addition to the process of secularization and assimilation, anti-Semitism, and internal reforms of Judaism—had a different impact on women and men, and transformed Jewish representations of femininity and masculinity. The renewed value ascribed to women as “guardians of tradition” during the nineteenth century was a change that paradoxically enabled them to take on new roles as educators, leaders of Jewish organizations, and sometimes as officers. A major revolution came with their access to secular education, which was particularly early, and also to religious education somewhat later. The profound reorganization of Jewish collective institutions after the Holocaust led to renewed religious polarization opposing the “Orthodox,” who were often in the majority, and “liberals” with respect to women’s participation in the synagogue and the study of religious texts.

  • Remembrance and Rededication
    low REMEMBRANCE AND REDEDICATION Rabbi John D. Rayner Nottingham Progressive Jewish Congregation 7th November, 1993 We are here to celebrate a milestone in the history of the Nottingham Progressive Jewish Congregation, and warmly welcome all who have come to celebrate it with us, members, friends and distinguished guests. It is an occasion which evokes memories of past episodes in the Congregation‘s history: its early beginnings and first services in 1965; the consecration of the Synagogue in 1972; and the succession of Student Rabbis, Foster Rabbis and Acting Rabbis who have served the Congregation over the years. But it is also a milestone in the personal history of Seth Kunin, whose Induction as the Congregation's first Full-Time Rabbi is what we have come here, more specifically, to celebrate; and it is right that, for a little while at least, our attention should focus on him. He wasn't "in on it" at the beginning for two good reasons: first, that he was only four years old; and secondly, that he grew up in the United States of America, a fact which those with a good ear may find faintly discernible. There he became actively involved in the educational and youth programmes of a Progressive synagogue in Northern Westchester. Then he went on to Columbia University, where he had a fine academic career. He also studied at the Jewish Theological Seminary, and twice spent a year in Israel. Then he came to England to study at Leo Baeck College, and that is whenI first got to know him. His classmates incluézd Pete Tobias, now Rabbi of the Birmingham Progressive Synagogue, and Pauline Bebe, now France's first woman rabbi.

  • European Union for Progressive Judaism August 2012 Newsletter
    European Union for Progressive Judaism August 2012 Newsletter © European Union for Progressive Judaism Leo Baeck College ordains rabbis at West London Synagogue Three exceptional rabbis from three different countries were ordained Leo Baeck College at West London Synagogue on Sunday 1st July. Rabbi Baroness Julia Neuberger, the Senior Rabbi at West London, began the service with Rabbi Dr Deborah Kahn-Harris, Principal of Leo Baeck College, giving an inspirational and heart- warming address. The three rabbis were Lea Mühlstein from Germany, Andrea Zanardo from Italy and Peter Radvanszki from Hungary. Lea has now taken up a post at West London Synagogue. Remarking on the achievements of the three ordinands, Rabbi Dr Kahn-Harris, using the garden as a metaphor, said that the new rabbis were ready "to inspire others with love of Torah, to tend their congregations, to sink their roots deep into the Jewish community and in so doing sustain a healthy Jewish eco- system." The music for the occasion was provided by Rabbi Mark Solomon and the service was followed by a Kiddush for 250 guests. For the first time highlights of the Leo Rabbis Lea Mühlstein, Andrea Zanardo and Peter Radvanszki Baeck College ordination ceremony were streamed live on the internet. Progressive and Pro Israel Advocating for Israel, Combating Anti-Israel Bias in Europe The EUPJ seminar originally planned for November has now been rescheduled for 18 – 20 January 2013 in Paris. The seminar is intended to bring together leaders from Progressive Jewish communities throughout Europe to better understand how to defend against political, religious, social and media pressures aimed at Israel and its supporters.
