The two movements have separate, but intertwined histories. The [[Union Libérale Israélite de France|Union libérale israélite de France]] was founded 1907 with a synagogue at 24 Rue Copernic in Paris' [[16th arrondissement of Paris|16th arrondissement]]. The [[Liberal Jewish Movement of France]] was founded in 1977, with a synagogue at 11 Rue Gaston-de-Caillavet in Paris' [[15th arrondissement]], and another location at 24 Rue du Surmelin in the 20th arrondissement in 1983.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Héloïse de Neuville |date=23 September 2019 |title=Les juifs libéraux de France unissent leurs forces |url=https://www.la-croix.com/Religion/Judaisme/juifs-liberaux-France-sunissent-mouvement-Judaisme-mouvement-2019-09-23-1201049463 |website=La Croix}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Laëtitia Enriquez |date=8 December 2019 |title=Pourquoi l’ULIF-Copernic et le MJLF se sont rapprochés |url=http://www.actuj.com/2019-12/communaute/8321-pourquoi-l-ulif-copernic-et-le-mjlf-se-sont-rapproches# |website=Actualités Juives}}</ref>''.''

==Beliefs==
The goals of the movement are to "reunite men and women into an open, modern, [[Women in Judaism|egalitarian]], welcoming and [[Jewish views on homosexuality|inclusive]] Judaism".{{Note|French: « réunir des femmes et des hommes autour d’un judaïsme ouvert, moderne, égalitaire, accueillant et inclusif. »}}.<ref name=":0" /> The new association aimed at combining the [[Reform Judaism|Reform/Liberal]] et [[Conservative Judaism|Conservative/Masorti]] movements, and hoped to "deploy across France to allow the young, isolated Jews, [[Interfaith marriage in Judaism|interfaith couples]], and everyone, to come together and reconnect with their Judaism". It also "wants to be the bearer of both Jewish traditions and republican values".<ref name=":0" />
