Statement from Progressive Judaism leaders - Rabbi Josh Levy and Rabbi Charley Baginsky

Rabbi Charley Baginsky and Rabbi Josh Levy: No single response can speak for British Jews - The Movement for Progressive Judaism
As we approach the High Holy Days, we enter a season of teshuvah, of looking honestly at ourselves, taking responsibility and asking what must change. Yet there is a temptation, on days like these, to...

Israel’s direction poses ‘existential threat’ to Judaism, UK’s leading progressive rabbis warn
Rabbis Charley Baginsky and Josh Levy say criticising Israeli government is not disloyalty but a Jewish obligation The UK’s most senior progressive rabbis have warned that Israel’s current political direction risks becoming “incompatible with Jewish values”, while insisting that criticism of the country’s government is “a Jewish obligation” rather than an act of disloyalty. Rabbi Charley Baginsky and Rabbi Josh Levy, co-leads of Progressive Judaism – the newly formed movement representing around a third of synagogues in the UK – said Israel’s trajectory could pose an “existential threat” not just to the country itself but to Judaism.

Important to remember that many decent Jewish people continue to oppose Netanyahu's government at considerable personal cost.

"At a time when antisemitism, anti-Muslim hatred and social division are causing real fear across our country, language of this kind is dangerous and irresponsible"

Rabbi Charley Baginsky and Rabbi Josh Levy who co-lead the Movement for Progressive Judaism
The Movement for Progressive Judaism is appalled by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s description of the United Kingdom as the “Islamic Republic of Britain”. At a time when antisemitism, anti-Muslim hatred and social division are causing real fear across our country, language of this kind is dangerous and irresponsible. Prime Minister Netanyahu does not speak for British Jews. His words do not represent us. British Jews are not made safer by rhetoric which denigrates British Muslims or portrays an entire community as a threat. Jewish leadership in this country must be clear in saying so. We have a responsibility to call out language which fuels prejudice and division. Rabbi Charley Baginsky and Rabbi Josh Levy Co-Leads, The Movement for Progressive Judaism

La actual dirección política de Israel supone una "amenaza existencial" para el judaísmo. El país corre el riesgo de volverse "incompatible con los valores judíos", según declararon 2 líderes rabínicos progresistas. El sionismo es el problema. www.timesofisrael.com/uks-top-2-pr...
UK’s top 2 Progressive rabbis: Israel’s direction risks it becoming ‘incompatible with Jewish values’
Israeli government's path 'fractures our relationship with Israel,' and criticizing it, far from disloyalty, is 'a Jewish obligation,' Rabbi Charley Baginsky says

And with the leadership of Rabbi Josh Levy and Rabbi Charley Baginsky I am certain this movement will live up to its promise!

Delighted to attend launch of the Movement for Progressive Judaism: the merger between the Reform & Liberal denominations and a powerful new voice in our nation’s private and public life for universal values of human dignity & social justice. Humanists share them & I look forward to working together

There is a first person account here. As she says, Baginsky was brave to do this, but IMO there's no doubt that events like this do nothing to combat antisemitism and directly legitimise racism.

Have made it down to the antisemitism rally in London to see whether Reform uses the opportunity to politicise the real problem of racism against Jews. It hasn’t started yet. Mostly we had 2 musicians belting out Israeli classics, as if this were the best expression of British Jewishness… /1
