The Movement for Reform Judaism (until June 2005, Reform Synagogues of Great Britain) is the main organisational body of the British Jewish Reform community. Among the Movement for Reform Judaism's stated aims is revitalising Jewish community involvement among British Jews, with particular focus on children, teenagers and families where one member of the couple is not halachically Jewish. Thanks to this work for the welfare and development of young people, the Movement for Reform Judaism is a member of The National Council for Voluntary Youth Services (NCVYS).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Our members )〕 In September 2014 Liberal Judaism and the Movement for Reform Judaism announced the formation of an alliance, with the intention "to speak for and reach out to the third of British Jews who describe themselves as secular, cultural or 'just Jewish'". ==History== The first Reform congregations in Great Britain appeared in West London and Manchester in the mid-19th century. By 1942, when the first organisational body was formed, the number of Reform Jewish communities had increased to six. This body, ''Associated British Synagogues'', evolved into the more nation-focused ''Associated Synagogues of Great Britain'', and in 1958 stabilised into ''Reform Synagogues of Great Britain'', a name which would last until 2005. In 2015 the majority of Britain's Assembly of Reform Rabbis voted in favor of a position paper proposing "that individuals who live a Jewish life, and who are patrilineally Jewish, can be welcomed into the Jewish community and confirmed as Jewish through an individual process." Britain's Assembly of Reform Rabbis stated that rabbis "would be able to take local decisions – ratified by the Beit Din – confirming Jewish status."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Movement for Reform Judaism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
