   Extractions: Welcome to the world of Humanistic Judaism. This organized branch of Judaism is for Jews wishing to maintain their Jewish identity in a non-theistic manner through congregations and communities. Humanistic Judaism differs from secular or cultural Judaism in that it is congregational in form and substance. Jewish education, holidays, tradition and life cycle events are the foundation of Humanistic Judaism. While the important role of God in Jewish history and tradition is recognized, and spirituality is greatly valued, Humanistic Judaism holds that supernatural authority should play no role in human affairs; the branch is non-theistic in observance and content. Humanistic Judaism was founded by Rabbi Sherwin Wine in the 1960's. Its formal organization is carried out by The Society for Humanistic Judaism. which has many affiliated communities in the U.S. and other countries. This page is operated by Walter Hellman as an independent service for all Humanistic Jews, both affiliated and unaffiliated. While the primary purpose of this page and the associated mailing list (see below) is to further the advancment of Humanisitic Judaism, the page and its contents do not necessarily represent the views of the Society for Humanistic Judaism. Other internet access to HJ currently consists of a mailing list (the "hj" list), an archive of documents (see "Humanistic Judaism Archive" link below), this page, and pages of other communities.

When I began to question the practice of circumcision among American Jews, to say that I had no idea of what a great taboo it was would be an understatement. Coming from a European background where routine circumcisions as practiced in most American hospitals are nonexistent, and where many Jews reject a brit milla as an archaic and barbaric ritual, I simply assumed that the Jewish community had divergent approaches to the issue just as with every other aspect of Judaism. I was stunned to realize that questioning this ritual is the ultimate taboo among American Jews. Not only was I not supposed to question it, but I was not even supposed to have the feelings and concerns that I had toward

For most of its history, it was an informal optionsecular Jews weren't organized as such, but participated in a variety of movements such as Zionism, Yiddish nationalism or Bundism, Jewish schools, cultural associations, and Jewish communal organizations. Only recently has the movement specifically for Humanistic Judaism taken form. The history is this: Early 1963A group of Jews who were members of Temple Beth El in Detroit wanted to start a new, small-but-hip, suburbanand very Reformcongregation. They approached 36-year-old Rabbi Sherwin Wine, who had been Beth El's assistant rabbi and moved from there to leading a Reform congregation in Windsor, Ontario. Rabbi Wine was known as a brilliant and dynamic speaker, but was within the Reform framework.

    Extractions: HUMANISTIC JUDAISM CONGREGATIONS Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. " Secular Humanism " is a non-religiously based philosophy promoting man as the measure of all things. They value knowledge based on reason and hard evidence rather than on faith. They generally reject the concept of a personal God. The movement can be traced directly back to the rationalism of the 18th Century and the free thought movement of the 19th Century. Its roots are in the system of rational philosophy created in ancient Greece. " Religious Humanism " is similar to secular Humanism, except that it is practiced within a religious setting with community, fellowship and rituals. Its various forms are seen in Ethical Culture Societies, some groups affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association and in congregations associated with the Society for Humanistic Judaism Humanistic Judaism, then, is a group within Judaism which follows religious Humanism. According to an article in the Washington Post, " Stephen P. Weldon, a historian of humanism at Cornell University, said that Jewish humanists reflect an emerging pattern of religious humanism as distinct from secular humanism. 'A lot of humanists have decided that religion is a natural human impulse and...that there needs to be some kind of ritual and socializing aspect and that going to church or going to temple can help us do that,' Weldon said.
