Progressive Judaism, or Reform Judaism, was founded during the French Revolution. It was started as a way to assimilate to modern culture and become more integrated in non-Jewish districts. It stresses less on the Jewish laws (halakhah) and more on values of social justice, feminism, and culture. Progressive Jews believe in abiding to different laws that Conservative and Orthodox Jews. Progressive Judaism was started by Rabbi Abraham Geiger in Germany and spread to America in the 1800s. Progressive Judaism is most commonly focused in Northern America, particularly the west coast. It is important to Jews today because modern Jews find it as a way to be secularized while still maintaining their Jewish identities.
