Liberal Judaism - Principles
Liberal Judaism
holds truth above tradition, but with reverence for the past.
Liberal Judaism is always willing to re-examine and re-evaluate beliefs, practices
and values; there is scope to modify and innovate and to experiment while still
cherishing and honouring the richness of our heritage.
Liberal Judaism maintains sincerity above conformity; it is unafraid to engage
in discussion with others; it looks for sane, humane answers to find meaning in
life.
Liberal Judaism values human needs above legal technicalities; it provides accessibility,
equality and inclusivity.
Liberal Judaism is honest, spiritually rewarding and intellectually satisfying;
it gives opportunity for creativity, passion and concern.
Liberal Judaism has an inclusive attitude to Jewish identity, embracing all who
have a good claim to be regarded as Jewish and welcoming sincere converts.
Liberal Judaism proclaims and practises total sexual equality.
Liberal Judaism guides individuals rather than instructing them.
Liberal Judaism places a higher emphasis on ethical conduct than ritual observance. |
