As someone who was raised Unitaran Universalist but has both Jewish and Protestant ancestors I have always been interested in the intersections between Unitarianism (and now Unitarian Universalism) and various variants of Judaism. While researching something else entirely today I stumbled across a reference to The First American Congress of Liberal Religious Societies. The Congress met at Sinai Temple in Chicago and represented Unitarian, Universalist, Reform Jewish and Ethical Culture congregations. The proceedings of the meeting are available on-line and maybe sometime I’ll get around to reading them. This is also not the first time I’ve stumbled across interchanges between Reform Jews and Unitarians. While researching the curriculum I am writing as part of Tapestry of Faith last year I discovered a whole series of speeches by Rabbis given at the May Meetings of the AUA in the 1900s and 1910s. There’s a great essay waiting to be written by someone on the interchange between Unitarianism and Judaism out there…
