We invite you to join in the fun things going on with our community either through private events (use contact us to get more info). We have a site in the Metro East willing to host us! We just need people who are ready to pitch in and create a new Jewish space. Use the Contact Us to get in touch.
It is with a heavy heart that we watch the horrors going on in Israel. We condemn terrorism in all forms, and assert that Israel has a right to exist as a free country, safe from attacks by terrorists and others. We condemn antisemitism in all forms, including those who want the only Jewish majority state in the world to cease to exist.
We also recognize that Israel is imperfect and that the Palestinian people deserve to live in freedom and safety as well, where they are neither oppressed nor controlled by terrorists.
We want to see an end to Hamas, freedom for all the hostages, a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine, and stability and democracy across the Middle East so that all people of all religions (or none at all) can thrive.
Humanistic Judaism is a movement of secular Jews who derive great meaning from Jewish traditions, but don’t believe in the God of the Bible. We replace worship of the supernatural with ritual and liturgy that speaks to the human experience, creating an authentic way to express Jewish identity in harmony with modern, universalist values.
We define a Jew as someone who commits themselves to the history and fate of the Jewish people. While we do offer courses if you want to deepen your Jewish understanding, we don't limit your membership based on how you are Jewish, who your parents were, how much Hebrew you know, or even if you are just seeking more and want to see if our Judaism is for you.
Judaism that is specifically tailored to wherever you are, whatever your interests.
NO HEBREW REQUIRED
NO CREED OR REQUIREMENT OF BELIEF
We welcome all who seek to support human dignity, human survival, and human happiness through a Jewish lens.
There's more to Judaism than B'nai Mitzvahs and weddings (although we love those too!). In addition to holidays, we specialize in rituals other synagogues won't touch- like interfaith ceremonies, LGBTQIA coming out, name change, gender confirmation and polyfamily ceremonies!
