Welcome to the European Region of WUPJ The European Region of the World Union for Progressive Judaism works to promote the development of Progressive Judaism in Central, Western Europe and Israel, to encourage and facilitate the formation of Progressive Jewish communities; and to stimulate and encourage the study of Judaism and a recognition of its place in modern life. The European Region faces challenges: the need for personnel to liaise between communities to ensure that we share information about the support available, by way of educational materials and resources, and the passing on of experience and general know-how. There are progressive communities in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
