The Humanistic
Jewish Congregation is a compelling option for modern Jewish
identity in the San Diego Area.
Humanistic Jews
understand Judaism as the
human-centered history, culture, civilization, ethical
values, and shared experiences of the Jewish people. We
believe that individuals shape their own lives independent
of a supernatural authority.
(philosophy)
You may recognize that our
humanistic views of Jewish culture, traditions, and
observances correspond with the way in which you would like
to cherish your Judaism. Our warm, caring community
welcomes anyone who identifies with Judaism, including
intercultural families.
(about us)
We hope our website will give you an
understanding of Humanistic Judaism and we encourage you to
visit our congregation. Please feel free to
contact us
for more information. |

"To know Ben Gurion is to know
Israel"
David Ben Gurion had a vision for a
land of refuge for all Jews in the Diaspora. His entire adult life
was focused on realizing that hope, even when it drove him to make
controversial decisions. Today Israel is struggling with the effects
of those choices, such as allowing the government to sanction the
exclusive practices of Orthodox Jews.
Kahal Am president Gary Zarnow will
present a talk and lead discussion on the life of Israeli founder
and Prime Minister David Ben Gurion. Madrikha Beverly and soloist
Janet Hammer, accompanied by pianist Mark Danisovszky, will also
participate in this program honoring the 64th anniversary of
Israel’s founding. An oneg refreshment will follow. |
