Humanistic Judaism Magazine

Humanistic Judaism Magazine provides a voice for those who value Jewish meaning independent of supernatural authority. Each issue features topics of interest or concern, news from SHJ affiliated communities, articles, and book reviews or excerpts about Jewish ritual, culture, history, and meaning — from a uniquely Secular Humanistic Judaism perspective.

Published quarterly, full issues of Humanistic Judaism Magazine are available to members and subscribers. Learn more here.
