Our Values

The following values statement underpins all the operations of our Congregation:

The Congregation is committed to the principles and practices of Progressive Judaism in which we assert the belief in one God, the unity of the Jewish people and the vital role of the State of Israel in modern Jewish life.

In addition to the central premise above, the Congregation is also committed to the values of -

• inclusiveness, by which is meant welcoming participation as appropriate of Members and friends
• non-discrimination between women and men
• Jewish education as a life-long process
• the use of appropriate rituals and procedures in ways which treat people with dignity and respect
• Jewish pluralism which allows for many different perspectives, and
• the value and dignity of other religions, ethnic groups, cultures and beliefs
