Reform Judaism is living Judaism. It is a religious philosophy rooted in nearly four millennia of Jewish tradition, whilst actively engaged with modern life and thought. 

This means both an uncompromising assertion of eternal truths and values and an open, positive attitude to new insights and changing circumstances. 

It is a living, evolving faith that Jews of today and tomorrow can live by.

In keeping with this, we adopt an open and positive attitude to Jews, welcoming all as they are rather than as others think they should be. We include many whose families have been Reform Jews for generations. We welcome others whose upbringing was in orthodox communities and also welcome those who have drifted away from formal association with the community through apathy, antipathy or out-marriage. We count people in, solve problems rather than create them and seek to open doors, not to erect barriers.

Radlett & Bushey Reform Synagogue is the eighth largest community of the 44 which make up the Movement. Our Rabbis and Council members play an active role in the Movement's policy-making process.
