The Sim Shalom Congregation is the first institution of progressive Judaism in Hungary, headed by a woman rabbi. During my first field research in the ‘90s I noted that large proportion of nonreligious people also joined the organization offering religious activities as well. The integrational efforts of Sim Shalom were explicitly rebuffed by other Jewish religious organizations because of their non-conventional ideology and practices, however there were other (fundamental) reasons behind this. The aim of my research became to observe the plight of Hungarian progressive Judaism during a longer period, and to explore who joins this community and why, and why it can be attractive for non-religious people too. The first results of my more than a decade long research revealed that the motivation behind joining the progressive community can not be narrowed down to religiousness and to reverting to religion. Thus later on my research turned special attention to finding out and construing what factors shape personal and societal actions, and what role the progressive movement and its Hungarian institutions play in the lives of the followers and in society.
