The Reform Movement of Judaism is the largest Jewish denomination, with an enormous presence in California. Synagogues are the centers of a diverse spectrum of independent Reform communities. Since the Reform Movement is both a religious and organizational entity, affiliation with the Reform Movement requires adherence to certain guidelines as set by the Union for Reform Judaism.
