Speakers at Liberal Judaism's Day of Celebration urged their audience to get more involved in Israeli politics.
Rabbi Miri Gold - the poster girl of the fight to recognise non-Orthodox rabbis in Israel - and Anat Hoffman, executive director of the Israel Religious Action Centre, stressed the importance of fighting for religious pluralism and human rights in Israel.
In conversation with Liberal Judaism chief executive Rabbi Danny Rich, Rabbi Gold said that support from the UK had helped in her battle to have her salary paid by the Israeli government, as well as in the continuing struggle for equality for non-Orthodox strands of Judaism.
"I remind myself that hope is a mitzvah, a commandment, and one which sustains me when times get rough."
