The Liverpool Reform Synagogue is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 28 Church Road North, in the Wavertree district of Liverpool, England, in the United Kingdom. The congregation is a member of the Movement for Reform Judaism.[2]

Overview

The congregation was established in 1928 as the Liverpool Liberal Jewish Congregation, a member of the Jewish Religious Union for the Advancement of Liberal Judaism, and was one of the first progressive Jewish communities that were established outside London.[3] From c. 1937 until 1962, the Liberal congregation was located at 1 Hope Place (off Hope Street) in the city centre, the site of the former Liverpool New Hebrew Congregation.[1] The former Hope Place building subsequently housed the Unity Theatre.[4]

In 1962, under the name, Progressive Synagogue, the congregation moved to premises located at either 28 (or 28a) Church Road North, located adjacent to the current synagogue building. The congregation subsequently moved to its current location, a smaller building in the gardens on the same site at 28 Church Road North.[1][3] The former synagogue building on this site was closed, converted into a block of apartments and, in 1952, was listed as a Grade II building.[5]

The congregation's part time rabbi is Warren Elf MBE. Elf is based in Manchester and is also the part-time rabbi at Southend and District Reform Synagogue in Southend-on-Sea.[6][7]
