Berlin Independent Synagogue Congregation Bet Haskala (USB)

Since March 2014, Berlin hasa new liberal-progressive Jewish community

a community independent of the entrenched and outdated structures of the established Jewish community,
an egalitarian community that grants women and men equal rights and duties not only in everyday life but also in religious life,
a congregation that feels committed to Reform Judaism originating in Berlin and includes the national languages of the prayers present in the divine service in addition to the important Hebrew elements,
a congregation that is in the process of discussing traditional and modern forms of worship and thus developing a concept supported by all members,
a community that is open to all Jews regardless of their sexual orientation, regardless of whether they live as a married couple or in registered partnerships, regardless of whether they are single parents or singles, regardless of whether they have been living in Berlin for a long time or are new to the city.
a community that also offers all those who have a patrilineal or other Jewish background, as well as all non-Jewish spouses of our members, to participate regularly in community life within the framework of the family membership defined in the statutes,
a community that welcomes non-Jewish guests and wants to work with other religious groups to support peaceful and neighborly life in our city, in our country and in the world.
