Rabbi Laura Janner-Klausner (LJK) responded to a question asking where the Reform Judaism draft strategy was up to. She said that when reviewing the draft, it was felt that it needed more work, that it wasn’t strong enough or bold enough. There are three strands, a grass roots, storytelling medium term strand which is a longer, slower process, the second strand is using trained people to facilitate what can be done which is a more thorough methodological strategic process and the third strand is called ideation, based on fast thinking and deciding what cannot be done. Anyone who would like to be involved should get in touch. 7.3 Closing 1505. GM closed by offering thanks to all the staff of Reform Judaism. 1506. LJK offered thanks to the Board and in particular to the Chair, Geoffrey Marx. Immediately following the AGM, the meeting continued with a number of facilitated Covenant Workshops.

  • Rabbi Andre Ungar Z’L (21 July 1929–5 May 2020)
    Rabbi Andre Ungar z’l (21 July 1929–5 May 2020) Jonathan Magonet abbi Ungar was born in Budapest to Bela and Frederika Ungar. The Rfamily lived in hiding with false identity papers from 1944 under the German occupation.1 After the war, a scholarship brought him to the UK where he studied at Jews’ College, then part of University College, and subsequently studied philosophy. Feeling uncomfortable within Orthodoxy, he met with Rabbi Harold Reinhart and Rabbi Leo Baeck and eventually became an assistant rabbi at West London Synagogue. In 1954 he obtained his doctorate in philosophy and was ordained as a rabbi through a programme that preceded the formal creation of Leo Baeck College in 1956. In 1955 he was appointed as rabbi at the pro- gressive congregation in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Very soon his fiery anti-Apartheid sermons were condemned in the Afrikaans newspapers and received mixed reactions from the Jewish community. In December 1956 he was served with a deportation order and was forced to leave the country. He wrote with passion about his South African experience some ten years later in the book Resistance against Tyranny2 A symposium edited by his friend and fellow Hungarian Eugene Heimler whose important account of his Holocaust experience Night of the Mist Ungar had translated into English. I found that our own genteel white leisure and wealth was a thin veneer over a vast mass of coloured suffering; and that the distinction was arti- ficially created, maintained and, since the Nationalist victory of 1948, deliberately worsened day after day.

  • Shabbat Is Lighting Candles; Having

  • Reform Judaism: in 1000 Words Gender
    Reform Judaism: In 1000 Words Gender Context One of the distinctive features of Reform Judaism is our unequivocal commitment to gender equality. Or is it? As Rabbi Barbara Borts of Darlington Hebrew Congregation writes, though there are many examples of equality in our movement (such as our exceptional siddur and women in senior rabbinic positions) the journey towards true equality in our communities has been a process of development over many years, and in some ways is not yet complete. Content The male rabbi who was approached to write this section demurred, believing it was inappropriate for him to write about gender issues. Gender, he believed, really meant ‘women.’ This is a natural conclusion. After all, Judaism developed as a patriarchal religion with strict delineations between male Jewish life and female Jewish life: male Judaism was the norm [a Jew and His Judaism] and the woman, a separate category.i Although the idea of gender now encompasses many aspects of sexual identity, for most people, ‘gender’ will mean ‘women’ and we will thus examine past and current thinking about women’s roles in the MRJ. In 1840 West London Synagogue, women’s equality was not part of the founders’ visions. Women sat in the balcony until 1910 (except for the Yamim Nora’im) and the choir was initially all-male, although women would join early on.ii Other founding synagogues discussed participation by women, but there was no consensus about what equality for women entailed, not even through the 1990s and perhaps beyond. The first women rabbis often encountered great opposition and found it difficult to gain employment against male candidates for particular jobs.

  • The Official Newsletter of Ne've Shalom, the Hull Reform Synagogue
    The Official Newsletter of Ne’ve Shalom, the Hull Reform Synagogue Adar 5777 CHAIR’S REPORT March/April 2017 Although I was unable to attend the City of Hull Holocaust Memorial Day 2017 at the Hull Guildhall on Thursday 26 January 2017, I understand that there was a reasonable attendance from our community and the programme of presentations, poems and music was not only entertaining, but thought-provoking. Regarding the Holocaust, I think that it is very important that we continue to pass on the stories of the horrors and sacrifice to future generations of Jews and non-Jews and thus ensure that “We shall never forget”. With that thought in mind, we will be arranging a social afternoon or evening in July 2017 to show the newly released film ‘Denial’, which followed the court case surrounding the denial of the Holocaust. We intend to screen it the Shul hall and the invitation to attend would be opened up to the whole Jewish community. The attendance for the Tu B’Shevat Seder was very good and the informal manner of the Service, with assistance from Aimi Sugarman, and the opportunity to come together to celebrate, to talk and to eat, made the evening truly special. I certainly managed to eat my way through my ‘5-a-day’. Looking ahead, there’s quite a bit going on. Our Purim Service and Kiddush will be held on Saturday evening 11 March 2017. Fancy dress is optional, but feel free to get into the spirit of Purim even if it’s a token effort.
