Some 250 Liberal Jews from across the country congregated at Birmingham Progressive Synagogue on Sunday for a day of celebration and learning.
The programme started with a concert of new and traditional liturgical music, featuring the choir from Northwood and Pinner Liberal Synagogue and Birmingham’s cross-communal Kol Kinor singers. There was then a choice of 30 sessions on diverse subjects including parenthood, art and music.
Among the highlights were a session on mixed faith families led by Rabbi Aaron Goldstein and a challah-baking class with Rabbi Sandra Kviat.
Liberal Judaism provided free coaches from both north and south London to the venue. Movement chief executive Rabbi Danny Rich said: “We are proud to have brought such a varied and enriching programme to Birmingham.”
