WHAT WE ARE We are a community of people who have joined together to celebrate our Jewish cultural identity and affirm the essential ethical values in Judaism in accordance with our humanistic philosophical principles, which regard human beings as the determing force in our lives, responsible for our own actions, and concerned with welfare of one another. As an affiliate of the Society for Humanistic Judaism, we are part of a worldwide movement for secular and Humanistic Judaism that comprises more than fifty communities in the United States as well as groups in Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Britain, France, Belgium, Russia, Israel, and Australia and includes tens of thousands of members. WHAT WE DO We study the history of the Jewish people and the variant forms of their practice of Judaism in order to determine for ourselves how we wish to observe and celebrate the calendar of holidays and life cycle events in ways consistent with our rationalist orientation and our belief in such universal values as freedom, peace, integrity, dignity, creativity, and happiness. We then develop appropriate rituals for our celebrations. In addition, we have informative programs on historical or contemporary cultural, social, or political issues of interest to the members, generally with a Jewish and/or humanistic aspect or connection. Our board of directors meets monthly to determine policy and coordinate the work of the program committee and the ritual and education study groups. All such meetings are open to the entire membership, and the holiday celebrations and topical programs generally are open to the public.

Humanistic Jews understand Judaism as a people-centered history with its culture, civilization, ethical values, and the shared fate of the Jewish people. Encompassing many languages and a vast body of literature, art, dance, music, and food, Judaism is much more than a set of religious beliefs and practices. It is the cumulative cultural and historical experience of the Jewish people.

Humanistic Judaism is less well known than Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform. But, on a behavioral level, it claims to represent many more American Jews than any of these official ideologies. Rabbi Sherwin Wine, the founder of the movement, identifies three kinds of Jews who are neither honestly Orthodox, Conservative, or Reform. He calls these types the involuntary, the ethnic, and the humanistic. Rabbi Wine defines the involuntary Jew is the individual of Jewish descent who finds no meaning either in his past or in the unique practices of his ancestral religion. He defines the ethnic Jew is the person of Jewish descent who bears a strong attachment to the Hebrew and Yiddish cultures out of which he emerged. Rabbi Wine feels that these affiliations are negative. He prefers the positive definition of Humanistic Jew:
