The Mouvement Juif Libéral de France (MJLF), founded in 1977, is one of the largest and most dynamic synagogues in France. The 1500-family Liberal congregation in Paris has a staff of three rabbis ( two of whom are fluent in English) and two community centers: the main branch is located in the 15th arrondissement and a new center has just opened in the 20th arrondissement.

By American Jewish standards the approach and practice of MJLF is closer to Conservative than Reform. From a British vantage point we ressemble the synagogues of the RSGB. The MJLF is a culturally diverse congregation, representing the rich mosaic of French Jewry. Our Talmud Torah (Religious School) is noted for its excellent teaching and has an enrollement of over 350 students. Each year, the MJLF presents an exciting variety of educational, cultural, and social programs which include adult-education classes, lectures, conferences, Shabbat dinners, congregational trips, and camp programs (during school vacations & the summer).
