TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the Memorandum and Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
– Objectives and Activities Review of Progress 2020
In the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic, Liberal Judaism, its leadership and its communities excelled in making sure members’ spiritual, human, intellectual and pastoral needs were met.
Displaying creativity in a time of crisis, Liberal Judaism at Home was launched. The initiative – which included moving of all of Liberal Judaism’s events, services and festival celebrations online – was widely praised both inside and outside of the movement.
Liberal Judaism also continued its remit of providing education, religious and community services to its constituents and to wider Anglo Jewry.
Biennial Weekend 2020
A record breaking 1,500 registered delegates attended the Liberal Judaism Biennial Weekend in May 2020 – hearing the movement’s rabbis and leadership outline plans to make its prophetic voice even stronger in the years ahead.
With five times as many people signed up to watch online as can fit into the Biennial’s regular home of a hotel, delegates heard from 70 speakers during 32 hours and 41 minutes of live streaming across YouTube, Zoom, Facebook and Twitter.
The Biennial featured 12 sessions exploring the many facets of collaboration, multiple study workshops, three Shabbat services, two Kiddushim, one Havdalah led by youth movement LJY-Netzer and an evening of entertainment with Jewish drag queen Dame Dave Lynn.
Among the many highlights of Biennial was the keynote conversation between Matthew Gould – CEO of NHSX and former British Ambassador to Israel – and Daniel Finkelstein, a columnist for The Times and Jewish Chronicle.
The Biennial also gave Liberal Jews the chance to say goodbye to former Chief Executive Rabbi Danny Rich and Chair Simon Benscher, both of who stepped down from their roles earlier in the year.
Lily’s Legacy
A Biennial highlight was the launch of the Lily’s Legacy: Voices and Visions of Liberal Judaism exhibition. Inspired by Lily Montagu and the founders of Liberal Judaism, the exhibition showcases an incredible history and heritage as told by members of all ages and backgrounds.
New leadership team
During 2020, Liberal Judaism appointed Rabbi Charley Baginsky as Chief Executive Officer, with Shelley Shocolinsky-Dwyer becoming Chief Operating Officer. Both then took up their positions in January 2021.
Charley and Shelley had been Interim Directors of the movement since March 2020 – overseeing the highly successful period outlined in this report.
Rabbis Rebecca Birk and Rabbi Dr Rene Pfertzel were elected as Co-Chairs of the Conference of Liberal Rabbis and Cantors, with whom the religious voice of Liberal Judaism rests.
Finally, Ruth Seager was unanimously elected as the Chair of Liberal Judaism at the 2020 AGM. Ruth has served many roles at East London & Essex Liberal Synagogue (ELELS) and on Liberal Judaism’s Board of National Officers. She had been Acting Chair of the movement since previous chair Simon Benscher stepped down due to ill health.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Welcoming mixed faith families
The major policy decision for Liberal Judaism in 2020 was to grant mixed faith couples the opportunity to receive a wedding blessing from a rabbi under the traditional Jewish chuppah.
The Conference of Liberal Rabbis and Cantors (CoLRaC) came to the decision, after much discussion, in order to recognise and celebrate the diversity of Jewish life today.
It is the culmination of a process that began more than two decades ago when Liberal rabbis first began to conduct mixed faith wedding blessings in private. The next step was holding these in public, including in synagogue, and now the option of a chuppah has been added.
Mixed faith couples must be civilly married before any blessing, as the Marriage Law of England and Wales only permits rabbis and synagogue marriage secretaries to ‘officiate’ where both bride and groom ‘profess’ the Jewish faith.
As with all weddings, the use of the chuppah is at the rabbi’s discretion and where the couple intend to maintain a Jewish home.
Making headline news in The Guardian, Times, BBC Radio 4 and across the Jewish and faith press, this is the first time any Jewish movement in the UK has introduced the deeply symbolic chuppah into a mixed faith ceremony.
Community Briefings
A big innovation from Liberal Judaism in 2020 was the launch of its Community Briefings – a weekly Zoom get together of Chairs and other leaders from each Liberal community with the chance to catch-up, share ideas and discuss a key issue of the day.
Each briefing was focussed on a topic of relevance to all Liberal communities – from how to conduct online service to tackling antisemitism – with weekly expert speakers from both inside and outside the movement including guests from CST and the Board of Deputies.
The briefings provided a range of information and support on issues relating to Covid-19, including re-opening synagogues, risk assessments and furlough schemes.
Many also found the chance to easily catch-up with friends from across the country each week a comfort and support in times of lockdown.
Ba’alei Tefillah
In March, Liberal Judaism took its popular Ba’alei Tefillah lay leadership course online – allowing its sixth cohort to continue the learning experience that will see them fully prepared to take services in their communities.
One of the strongest cohorts yet, it included 16 candidates from 15 communities in five countries.
Hot Potatoes
Liberal Judaism continued with its popular Hot Potatoes panel discussions – which aim to debate some of the most controversial issues within the Jewish community, but in a safe space where all views are heard and there is more discussion than judgement.
Moving online, as part of Liberal Judaism at Home, attendances were strong and topics covered included students, Liberal Zionism and annexation. Speakers included senior leaders from the Israeli Embassy and the Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism, as well as Nadia Whittome MP, Professor Adam Sutcliffe and Liberal Judaism’s own rabbis.
Education Hub
Liberal Judaism's Education Hub also moved online, building on its successful launch in 2019 and giving even more people, from all faiths and backgrounds, the opportunity to learn and think about Judaism, faith and philosophy.
In order to make sure that everyone has access to the education opportunities, Liberal Judaism made the Education Hub free during the exceptional times of the pandemic..

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Each term was themed with topics ranging from online safeguarding to asylum seekers in Israel.
One of the most popular topics was Liberal Judaism: Radical Roots, Relevant Responses – a partnership with the Cape Town Progressive Jewish Congregation.
Hosted by Rabbi Charley Baginsky and Rabbi Dr René Pfertzel, it delved into the history of spirituality in Liberal Judaism and drew on the teachings of its founders.
Training and education
At the start of the year, before the pandemic began, more than 100 Reform and Liberal Judaism cheder and religion school teachers gathered at The Liberal Jewish Synagogue for a teacher training event.
Participants had the opportunity to deepen a range of skills, with sessions selected based on teacher requests and specific development opportunities.
There were opportunities to deepen knowledge of Hebrew, special educational needs and working inter-generationally, as well as expert-led discussions around mental health.
Once the pandemic began, a number of sessions were run for educators and teachers to help them learn, discuss and share best practice on how to deliver education online.
Other successful events in 2020 included safeguarding training for community chairs, council members and cheder teachers.
New Student Chaplain
Former LJY-Netzer movement worker Rabbi Anna Posner returned to Liberal Judaism as the new Progressive Judaism student chaplain.
Her role is to support Jewish students and build the presence and vibrancy of Progressive Jewish life on campuses throughout the country.
In addition, Anna was appointed as part-time rabbi for both Beit Klal Yisrael (BKY) and Norwich Liberal Jewish Community.
Social Action and Social Justice
Even the small matter of a pandemic couldn’t stop Liberal Judaism’s work in the fields of social action and social justice, which included:
-
A series of campaigns on behalf of the Uyghur Muslim community, including a whole dedicated day of learning for Liberal youth across the country on the topic on Mitzvah Day.
-
Support for Jewish Women s Aid Shabbat - using the opportunity to raise the issue of domestic abuse and sexual violence in the Jewish community.
-
Joining with faith leaders from acrossthe UK to write an open letter to Home Secretary Priti Patel urging her not to evict or defund asylum seekers in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
-
Launching an Action Group for Black Jews and Jews of Colour. Its remit is to make practical and sustainable recommendations in making our synagogues and other Jewish spaces welcoming, safe and celebratory
-
Continued to call for a Living Wage, including a joint action with the Muslim community in Barnet.
Liberals in Lockdown
Liberal Judaism's Archiving Team began a new project to record how life has changed during lockdown within the community.
Members sent in their stories, photographs, facts, and figures of life during the pandemic, which will form a permanent record.

Last Night Chanukah Party
Liberal Judaism ended 2020 with a Last Night Chanukah Party full of song, fun, entertainment and, above all, light.
The event raised more than £10,000 to aid the movement’s goal of bringing Judaism into all homes during the pandemic.
The Chanukah Party was hosted by BBC Three Counties Radio star Toby Friedner and broadcast live on the Liberal Judaism YouTube, Facebook and Twitter channels – with 250 people tuning in.
Highlights of the night included a movement-wide Chanukah lighting and our congregations singing their own renditions of Maoz Tzur, with lyrics changed to reflect everything from coronavirus lockdowns to recent community landmarks.
LJ Lights
A new series of awards, titled LJ Lights, were given out at the Last Night Chanukah Party in order to say thank you to those members who had gone above and beyond to make life easier in this most difficult of years.
LJY-Netzer
There is no doubt that 2020 was a difficult one for LJY-Netzer, including the cancellation of events and tours people had been waiting years to go on but the Movement Workers reacted brilliantly to make sure Liberal youth could still get their Netzer fix.
LJY-Netzer at Home was launched, mirroring the successful Liberal Judaismat Home initiative and offering online-only programming tailored for all the different shikvot (age groups), and ranging from art sessions to debate club.
Then, in place of Kadimah summer camp, the team ran Machaneh B’Bayit a FREE inclusive online summer programme for all young people in schoolyears 2-11 (ages 7 to 16) with hours of fun activities, learning and games.
There were also packs and activities based around Shavuot and Chanukah,and cross-communal Mitzvah Day activities, making sure every young person could still engage with their Liberal Judaism.
Media and social media
The Liberal Judaism At Home initiative and support for members during the pandemic was highlighted by another very strong period for Liberal Judaism in its PR and communications.
The movement kept a high media profile throughout the year with regular news stories, pictures and commentary in the Jewish press and local newspapers, as well as crossing over into the national and mainstream media.
Social media engagement was strong, with a big increase in followers and engagement on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
– Objectives and Activities Review of Progress
The principal objective of Liberal Judaism is to promote religion by teaching and to advance the beliefs and practices of Liberal and Progressive Judaism generally.
Liberal Judaism provides religious, educational, youth, cultural and social activities and materials both to its constituents and their members. It develops, assists and supports new groups, small communities and larger congregations. It supports in both finance and personnel the work of other associated bodies including the Leo Baeck College and the World Union for Progressive Judaism.
Liberal Judaism publishes prayer books, pamphlets, newsletters, statements of belief and other publications of wider Jewish interest. It speaks out on issues relating to Judaism generally, and more specifically, Liberal Judaism responds to matters of a social and ethical nature.

LIBERAL JUDAISM (ULPS)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Strategic objectives
In 2014 the Board of National Officers commissioned a major research and development project which aimed to work with a wide range of stakeholders to set a strategy for Liberal Judaism for the next five years. After a year-long consultation with members and stakeholders from all communities, levels of engagement and age groups, a number of objectives were identified which were considered to be crucial elements of the organisation achieving the principal objective, as well as the aim articulated in the organisation’s publicity material:
Liberal Judaism is the dynamic, cutting edge of modern Judaism. It is an active force for good in lives of Jews and wider society.
These objectives break down into eight overall headings:
-
Leadership
-
Education and Learning
-
Theology and Liturgy
-
Membership
-
Community Care and Volunteering
-
Communications
-
Israel
-
Liberal Judaism as Political Judaism
Under each of these headings, detailed objectives were outlined; outcomes from these objectives are set on an annual basis by staff and the Board of National Officers. The achievements of the organisation in 2020 have been assessed against these detailed objectives and are presented later in this report with planned activities to meet objectives in 2021. These objective areas and overall strategy were due to be reviewed in 2020, but this was not possible due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The objectives have been kept, however, as they are a useful tool to develop and assess the impact of the organisation’s work.
A Note on Activities in 2020
Liberal Judaism adjusted quickly to the impact of Covid-19 both on the organisation and its members. A combination of good preparation and hard work from everyone on the team meant the Montagu Centre staff team was able to continue working in a manner close to business as usual. However, it should be evident that the goals have had to adjust according to the current situation. Covid-19 has meant for many that they have introduced an entirely new way of working; Liberal Judaism has had to adapt but were already on a path to utilising technology, sharing resources and platforming multiple voices.

LIBERAL JUDAISM (ULPS)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Financial review
General
The Senior Management Team is delegated by the Board of National Officers (BoNO), to generate funds that enable the delivery of a range of services whilst maintaining tight controls on spending. At the financial year end a surplus of £14,606 was recorded; this is compared to a deficit of £42,107 in 2019.
At the end of 2010, Liberal Judaism purchased an extension to Edgwarebury Cemetery, borrowing in excess of £190,000 from six constituent communities who participate in the burial scheme. The loans were for a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 10 years, and by the end of the ninth year, 31 December 2020, some 99% had been repaid. The final payments will be made in full during 2021.
At the year-end reserves were £582,289 (2019: £567,683) consisting of £51,363 general unrestricted funds (2019: 40,957), £525,026 designated funds (2019: £523,326) and £5,900 restricted funds (2019: £3,400).
Income
Total income was down by some £328,632 to £1,359,126 in 2020 (£1,687,758 in 2019). Income increased from 2019 for cemetery scheme income (£22,851) due to a higher death rate in 2020.
There was a decrease in income in several areas, including congregational fees, where income fell from £501,768 in 2019 to £477,373 in 2020 (a decrease of £24,395). In a number of cases this was due to a loss of income in member communities from loss of venue hire revenue; wherever possible, agreements were put in place to treat this shortfall as a loan, with deferred income due in 2021-2022. There was also a decrease in outreach and rabbinic services income of £91,441, from £261,716 in 2019 to £170,275 in 2020, as many communities did not use in person rabbinic services, which were put on hold. Finally, youth and Kadimah income was significantly reduced from £293,642 in 2019 to £65,652 in 2020 due to events and programmes being cancelled as result of Covid-19. Youth programming was delivered online and with grant support to minimise costs to participants.
Expenditure
In 2020 total expenditure decreased by £385,345, from £1,729,865 in 2019 to £1,344,520 in 2020.
There were decreases in expenditure on LJY-Netzer activities of £215,044, from £267,179 in 2019 to £52,135 in 2020, matching the decrease in income seen in this area in 2020 as events and programming were moved online. There were decreases in grant funding from £232,415 in 2019 to £184,083 in 2020 (£48,332), which varies annually due to the number of students enrolled at LBC; the cohort during 2020 was smaller leading to smaller costs overall. There was a decrease in staff costs of £107,482, from £709,046 in 2019 to £601,564 in 2020 as staff who left were not replaced in the year, as well as a general reduction in staff overall. Staffing is held at a level required to deliver core programming, but this changed over the course of 2020 due to the impacts of Covid-19.
Support costs overall also fell during the year by £48,212, from £281,396 in 2019 to £233,184 in 2020, due to the move to home working and reduction in office costs where possible, alongside a significant reduction in costs relating to travel to communities and events.
LJ staff are very aware that LJ's success is in no small part dependent on their maintaining tight financial control on their own particular projects; wherever possible, projects are run on the basis of break even or small surplus budgets. Contracts and service agreements were reviewed during the year to ensure that the organisation is receiving good value for money and in some cases suspended or reduced due to changed needs based on the move to home working.
The pay and remuneration of all staff, including senior management personnel, is set annually through a review process conducted by the Board of National Officers. This process includes a review of salaries for similar positions in other non-profit organisations, particularly in the Jewish charity sector, and rabbinic contractual arrangements recommended by the Conference of Liberal Rabbis and Cantors.
Fundraising
Liberal Judaism manages all fundraising internally and did not use external agencies or fundraisers in 2020. Fundraising is overseen by the Chief Executive, Rabbi Charley Baginsky, with support from the Events Manager, Tom Rich. The key elements of the fundraising strategy are a Patron’s scheme for donors paying £2,500 per annum and above, a Friends scheme for donors giving less than £1,500 per annum, one off donations and grant funding from a range of sources.
There was a decrease in fundraising expenses of £13,252 during 2020, due to moving all activities online.

LIBERAL JUDAISM (ULPS)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
All donors are contacted through person to person fundraising, with contact limited to prevent intrusion and pressure. Fundraising communications are managed with regard to the General Data Protection Regulation. No complaints about fundraising were received in 2020, although a robust complaints process is publicised. Liberal Judaism is registered with the Fundraising Regulator.
In addition to the generosity of our Patrons and donors, a number of specific grants were received from the NLPS Trust for Progressive Judaism, the UJIA, The Jewish Youth Fund and Netzer Olami. These grants totalled £73,507 in 2020.
Risk - significant events, risk and uncertainties
The most significant financial uncertainties and risks experienced by Liberal Judaism relate to the availability of different funding sources, all of which have different vulnerabilities. These risks are managed using a variety of strategies:
-
Donors – this funding stream is always open to variation, with the Liberal Judaism Council of Patrons making up the majority of donations through a minimum contribution of £2,500 per annum. Donors are thanked every year at a special dinner (when external circumstances permit). A new Friends scheme for donors making a contribution of less than £2,500 per annum was launched in late 2017 and has increased income from smaller regular donations. There are some additional risks related to Covid-19, specifically loss of investment income and other issues impacting on our donors. We have not noted a significant decrease in donations from Patrons in 2020 and have increased one-off and smaller donations.
-
Collection of Congregational Fees - in a challenging economic climate, affiliation fees can be affected, as lower membership fees are collected by communities. Liberal Judaism is working with member communities to support development and growth, which will lead to increased membership. Income from congregational fees was stable in as the result of improved relationships with member communities.
-
Grants - Liberal Judaism accesses grants from a range of funders to develop and deliver core programmes (LJY-Netzer) and new projects. Project work can be delayed until suitable funding is awarded, so it is important that Liberal Judaism maintains good relationships with funders and identifies new funding opportunities.
-
Sale of Services - a range of services are sold to member communities (mainly rabbinic support) and to non-members (mainly funeral services). In 2020 the budget target for non-member funeral income was £100,000, which was exceeded, but this target is something that the organisation has limited control to achieve. To mitigate this risk, the targets are kept at a sensible level and the organisation works to deliver an efficient, caring service that is publicised discreetly and through word of mouth.
Other financial risks that could have an impact on Liberal Judaism include:
-
Fraudulent activity – the organisation has a range of internal audits and controls for payment, approval and payment.
-
These are tested annually and subject to constant review and improvement.
-
Reserves – a reserves policy was developed in 2017 that aims to set aside £20, 000 per annum. This was not achieved in
-
2020; efficiencies will be made to make this achievable in 2021.
-
Stock – stock levels are reviewed against sales and gifts every 6 months.
There are no additional major risks, uncertainties or events were anticipated or forecast for 2021 – planning now takes place in the context of potential lockdowns and budgets are written that reflect alternative outcomes.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months’ core expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The current level of reserves is £51,363, some 20% of the target set. A close eye is kept on expenditure during the financial year with regular management accounting reviewed by the Board on a regular basis. The treasurer and Chief Operating Officer work together to ensure that the organisation is receiving funds in a timely manner and that any decrease in income is accounted for and provisions made to reduce costs accordingly; invoicing and credit control is increasingly based on spreading amounts due into monthly payments across the year, which assists cashflow and helps prevent the build-up of crisis points and significant debts. Sufficient funds are maintained to enable redundancy payments to staff, if required.
