What is Progressive Judaism?

Progressive Judaism maintains a creative tension between tradition and innovation. It approaches Jewish experience as a reimagining of the past in the light of current wisdom and social realities. Its core practices include Shabbat, the festivals, life transitions and acts of chesed. It sees Torah as divinely inspired and Israel as the spiritual homeland of the Jewish people. It celebrates diversity both within the Jewish world and globally. Its goal is a future in which people of every race, religion, sexual orientation and ethnicity are free to express themselves in the interests of making the world a safe and welcoming environment for all.
