Liberal Judaism’s leaders vowed to expand the movement’s inclusion agenda as 1,000 people attended its Biennial Weekend.

Held online with the theme ‘Breaking Down Walls’, speakers – including Stephen Bush, chair of the Board of Deputy’s Commission on Racial Inclusivity – looked at the issue of inclusion. 

The event ended with a Dragon’s Den-style judging panel picking the winner of Liberal Judaism’s Inclusion in Action award. 

The successful community was Kehillah North London, which wins a £3,000 grant for its project to embed racial, LGBTQ+, gender and disability justice in its new education curriculum.
