the communauté juive libérale de genève - gil or liberal jewish community of geneva is a liberal jewish community located on the eastern side of the river rhone in geneva. established as the liberal israelite group (groupe israélite libéral) on 7 december 1970, the organisation was later renamed the communauté juive libérale de genève. guided by its rabbi françois garaï since 1969, a year before its formal inception, the community held services in a variety of settings: a private library, a rented room on rue moillebeau, and then at quai du seujet. finally, gil relocated its activities to a purpose built facility, "beith gil", on route de chêne which hosts a synagogue as well as spaces for community activities.
