Liverpool Reform Synagogue is a synagogue in the Wavertree district of Liverpool, England. It serves the city's Reform Jewish population.
History
The synagogue is affiliated with the Movement for Reform Judaism,[1] and was opened by the Liberal Jewish Congregation of Liverpool (LJCL) in 1962 under the name Progressive Synagogue.[2] The LJCL had moved from its previous location near Hope Street, where it had been founded in 1928, making it one of the UK's first Reform Jewish communities to be established outside of London.[2][3] Progressive Synagogue was later closed and converted into a Grade II listed building and a block of apartments,[4] prompting the congregation to open the current synagogue in a different building just a few yards away on the same site.[2]
Notable members
- Luciana Berger (born 1981), politician and former MP for the local constituency.[5]
