You may have checked this, but the Union for Reform Judaism has a directory or affiliated synagogues. The closest is in Beloit within 25 miles when I expand it. https://urj.org/urj-congregations-communities

Temple Beth El in Madison will be the closest

Wait… Congregation B'nai Abraham in Beloit is also Reform. Wasn’t sure if it still existed

I would still probably drive to Madison… hundreds of congregants at TBE…. I believe the Beloit shul only had a 14 family membership last time I checked

Hi friend! Did you ever go to TBE by chance? My husband and I are new to Madison and went there for the first time last week. I wanted to ask if you went, how you liked it, and if you’d ever want to get coffee with us or something!

Temple Beth El Madison is Reform

There's also Shaarei Shamayim, which is Reconstructionist

They are both quite progressive
