Judaism in Motion (French: Judaïsme en mouvement) (Abbeviation: JEM) is a Jewish denomination in France. Registered as a French religious association under the 1901 and 1905 French laws on religion, it was founded in 2019 from the merger of the Union libérale israélite de France (ULIF) and the Liberal Jewish Movement of France (MJLF).

The two movements have separate, but intertwined histories. The Union libérale israélite de France was founded 1907 with a synagogue at 24 Rue Copernic in 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.[1][2].
