Communauté Juive Libérale d'Île-de-France (English: Liberal Jewish Community of Paris; abbreviated as CJL) is a Reform Jewish congregation with a synagogue, located in a Maison du judaïsme at 11 rue Moufle, in the XIe Arrondissement of Paris, France. The community is led by Rabbi Pauline Bebe, the first (and, until 2007, the only) woman rabbi in France. The community is affiliated with the World Union for Progressive Judaism.

Reform Judaism in France

[edit]

Although Reform Judaism is dominant within worldwide Judaism,[citation needed] it is still underdeveloped in France.[1] In France, Liberal Judaism is practiced by more than 15,000 people who are distributed in 16 communities belonging to several currents, including l’Union libérale israélite de France (ULIF), le Mouvement juif libéral de France (MJLF), and la Communauté juive libérale d’Île-de-France (CJL).[2][3] The CJL and a few other Reform communities are not accepted within the Orthodox Consistoire.[2] The Consistoire was founded in 1808 after the French Revolution, when the Jews of France were granted civil rights under the direction of Napoleon, whose goal was to make mainstream Frenchmen out of the Jewish people.[4]

Communal facilities

[edit]

From 1995 to 2006, the CJL's home was in the XVIIIe arrondissement, at 6, rue Pierre Ginier.[5] The congregation originally resembled a chavurah, and was located in a small apartment.[6] Since May 2006 the CJL have a new home,[7] La Maison du judaïsme, in the XIe arrondissement. The Maison du judaïsme consists of a multi-purpose complex center[8] with a synagogue,[9] a theater, an art exhibit and a library, as well as classrooms and offices. It also has a cultural organization called NITSA.[10][11] As of 2013, the CJL congregation consisted of more than 400 households,[1][12][13] and about 100 children regularly go to the Talmud Torah.
