U-Cafe had a successful launch on Thursday 27 September 2007 with members of Manchester's recently formed Liberal Jewish Congregation coming along to talk about their lives and faith. Thanks to Phyllis, Len, Chris, Nan and Jan for their openness and insights into a form of Judaism which is not very well known.
There was a lively and often challenging question and answer session with opportunities to learn from each other . The contrast between spiritual and cultural Judaism was highlighted as was the difference between orthodox, reform and liberal Jews. Indeed, it was made clear that unlike Christianity, there is infact, no orthodox position.
With a total attendance of 18, including a couple of visitors to Cross Street, U-Cafe got off to a good start.
