Humanistic Judaism celebrates Jewish life without religious prayer or appeals for divine intervention, instead putting faith in ourselves and our fellow humans as the best vehicles for improving the world.
It is an approach to ritual that empowers people to “say what they believe and believe what they say” during key lifecycle events and Jewish holidays.
For more than fifty years, Humanistic Judaism has been inclusive of multicultural households, LGBTQ+, partial Jewish ancestry, those who have adopted Humanistic Judaism as their own, and all those who identify with the history, ethical values, culture, civilization, community, and fate of the Jewish people.
We offer a connection to Jewish identity and community for people who are atheist and/or agnostic, “just Jewish,” culturally Jewish, “Jew-ish,” multicultural, “not religious,” secular, humanistic, freethinker — and friends, family, and allies.
