The Jewish Chronicle newspaper has latest news of the historic merger between two pro-LGBTQIA and diversity welcoming branches of the Jewish religion. Rabbis Charley Baginsky and Josh Levy, who in April announced the merger of Liberal Judaism and the Movement for Reform Judaism, are going on tour in a “once-in-a-generation opportunity for renewal and imagination”. The new movement is to be called Progressive Judaism, and will continue the parent group's long traditions of beign welcoming to LGBTQIA+ Jews and their friends. Rabbi Levy told the JC: “We want to find out what communities are excited about; how we can help them to unlock their potential; what makes them thrive and how they can best benefit from our support. "And we can best do this by visiting all communities both near and afar, so members of those communities can feel a part of the conversation and the changing face of Judaism.” The tour, which will reach all of Progressive Judaism’s 83 congregations “from Newcastle to Manchester, Edinburgh to Glasgow, Dublin, and even one in Denmark”, will begin later this year.
