	Liberal Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The distinction in the UK between the terms "Reform" and "Liberal" arose because in the early 1900s in the UK, 'Reform Judaism' meant the West London Synagogue, which was not connected with German or American Reform, and in modern terms strongly conservative.
		But Liberal Judaism is still in some ways distinctly more 'liberal' than Reform, for example more readily recognising as Jewish without conversion the child of Jewish father and a non-Jewish mother [1]; or in Liberal Judaism's readiness to celebrate homosexual partnerships in synagogue with more of the traditional symbolism associated with Jewish weddings [2].
		The official umbrella organisation of Liberal Judaism in the UK was founded as the Jewish Religious Union in 1902, was renamed the Union of Liberal and Progressive Synagogues in 1944, and officially renamed itself Liberal Judaism in 2003.

	Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite this, Judaism in all its variations has remained tightly bound to a number of religious principles, the most important of which is the belief in a single, omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent, transcendent God, who created the universe and continues to be involved in its governance.
		The practice of Judaism is devoted to the study and observance of these laws and commandments, as they are interpreted according to the Tanakh, Halakha, responsa and rabbinic literature.
		Judaism maintains that this is how the individual will merit rewards in the afterlife, called gan eden (Hebrew: "Garden of Eden") or olam haba ("World to Come"), though Judaism does not have a single concept of the afterlife, nor is the afterlife the focus of Jewish practice.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Judaism
		Legal righteousness was the watchword of Judaism, and its attainment by separation from Gentiles and sinners, by purifications, fasts, almsgiving, etc., in a word by the fulfilment of traditional enactments which applied the Law to each and every walk of life and to all imaginable circumstances, was the one concern of pious Jews wherever found.
		JUDAISM SINCE A.D. While Christianity thus asserted itself as the new Kingdom of God, the Jewish theocracy, guided by leaders unable "to know the signs of the times", was hastening to its total destruction.

	Short History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		An article in the Jewish Encyclopedia on “Liberal Judaism” tells us that Judaism is not based upon a creed like Christianity, “but is one inseparable connection with the Jewish nation as the depository and guardian of the truth held by it for mankind.”
		Furthermore, “Judaism’s scope lies not in the world beyond…its sole aim and purpose is to render the world that now is a divine kingdom of truth and righteousness.” The Messianic Age to which Judaism looks forward is regarded as “the one when the heathen (non-Jewish) world will join Judah.”
		“Judaism,” it is laid down, “points forward to a state of human perfection and bliss to be brought about by the complete enfoldment of the divine in man—and herein lies its great distinction also from Christianity.” Its ultimate end is proclaimed to be “to unite all mankind into one bond.”
