Rabbi Louis Germain Levy (1870-1946) trained at the Seminaire Israelite de France served as its first rabbi. Rabbi Levy was succeeded by Rabbi Andre Chalom Zaoui (1916-2009) in 1946.
In 1970, Rabbi
Daniel Farhi (1941-2021) was appointed the new senior rabbi and left ULIF in 1977 to create the second Reform synagogue of Paris, Mouvement Juif Liberal de France. Rabbi Michael Williams assumed the spiritual leadership of the community in 1977.
Since 2014, Philippe Haddad (ordained by the Seminaire Israelite de France) and Jonas Jacquelin (ordained by Abraham Geiger Kolleg) are its new rabbinic leaders.
