Resources List
The liberal streams of Judaism represent the largest and fastest-growing populations of Jews throughout the world. Their core values of pluralism, modernity, equality and social justice appeal to many who seek to incorporate precious Jewish tradition with contemporary lifestyles.
As communities develop and grow, they seek knowledge and connections with others so that they may learn, build and expand on best practices and the wisdom of those who have gone before them. That is the purpose of the RESOURCES section of the World Union’s web site.
