Masorti Judaism

Masorti Judaism is ‘enlightened committed Judaism for today’s person in today’s world’.

Rabbi Reuven Hammer

Masorti is traditional Judaism for modern Jews. We believe in our tradition as an evolving and living thing. Go to www.masorti.org for the full story. In the meantime, imagine a traditional service combined with more modern and egalitarian social values, where men and women both take on leadership roles, and you won’t be far off.

As a Masorti community we are inspired by the Jewish traditions of our ancestors and aware of our responsibility to our descendants. Our aim is to grow and to provide more and better services for our members without losing the warmth and friendship that is so important to all of us.

In the United Kingdom, Masorti Judaism is the umbrella body that promotes the principles of Masorti Judaism. It acts as an information and coordinating centre for its synagogues and works on behalf of member communities in the context of the wider Jewish world, administering the European Masorti Bet Din (Jewish law court), Noam (the Masorti youth movement) and Marom Young Adults. In addition, it is active in encouraging and assisting the development of new communities.
