    Goals / Remit

    The EUPJ works to foster and stimulate the growth of Progressive Judaism throughout Europe because we believe that Progressive Judaism, with its combination of respect for Jewish tradition and openness to modernity, provides the blueprint for Jewish continuity in the 21st century.

    The EUPJ is the umbrella organisation linking and supporting more than 170 Liberal, Progressive and Reform communities in 17 countries, with new communities regularly seeking membership. Our continued growth across Europe is testament to the fact our approach unites Jews who want a non-fundamentalist, inclusive, egalitarian and modern interpretation of Judaism. The EUPJ is one of the seven regions of the World Union for Progressive Judaism (WUPJ) with its headquarters in Jerusalem which is the largest movement of affiliated Jews in the world with 1.8 million members

    Main EU files targeted

    The EC has dialogue with individual religions about various matters from time to time – this frequently calls for specialists on a particular topic. We want to represent Progressive Judaism in this dialogue.

    We are involved in interfaith dialogue.

    We are involved in the fight against Anti-Semitism, specifically and against hate speech and intolerance generally.

    We engage in promoting a tolerant, inclusive and open European society

    We defend Europe's fundamental values and want to participate in its defence.

    So far, all our work in Brussels has been voluntary. The London-based headquarters plans to give us a startup grant and we will then begin fundraising to build up the office and representation in front of the European Union institutions. We will rent the offices at Congregation Beth Hillel in Brussels.
