Entitled "Choosing to Live as a Secular Humanistic Jew: A Bold Option for Modern Jewish Identity," the conference, September 8-10, 2000, will explore the many voices of Secular Humanistic Judaism as renowned and provocative speakers share how their secular Jewish commitments fit into the picture of their life's work. Yuli Tamir, Israel Minister of Immigrant Absorption, and Professor Lucette Valensi, historian, author, and director of France's International Institute of Mediterranean Culture, also plan to participate. According to Rabbi Sherwin T. Wine, co-chair of the International Federation of Secular Humanistic Jews and founder of the branch of Judaism known as Humanistic Judaism, "For the last 100 years, Secular Judaism has captured the imagination and attention of Jews worldwide. Its message is even more compelling today. It speaks to thousands of Jews who are searching for an authentic way to affirm, maintain, and perpetuate their cultural Jewish identity in the modern age. New York City, the largest Jewish metropolis in the world, and Cooper Union, which has provided a forum for social and political reformers since the 1800s, are the ideal locations to underline our commitment to progressive Judaism based on historical accuracy and rational inquiry."

67. Untitled The Roots of Secular humanistic judaism. by Sherwin T. Wine. Secular HumanisticJudaism uses the legacy of their achievements and their discoveries. http://www.shma.com/june00/wine.htm

The Roots of Secular Humanistic Judaism by Sherwin T. Wine Over the last two hundred years, many Jews have been alienated from the traditional religious establishment. Many of them created religious alternatives to Orthodoxy. The Reform, the Conservative, and the Reconstructionist movements are the result of their work. But there were also many alienated Jews who were not comfortable with any religious alternative. They felt intensely Jewish but found no meaning in prayer or in theistic philosophies of life. Even redefining theistic vocabulary did not engage their interest. Like Reform and Conservative Jews, these secular Jews were the products of both the Enlightenment and the Emancipation. They valued reason, despised superstition, and were attracted to the idea of forging a "new" Jewish identity, one that was rooted in the experience and the culture of the past and one that reflected the beliefs and lifestyles of the present. Many of these Jews were attracted to the message and passions of Jewish nationalism. Being Jewish by nationality and not by religion gave them a sense of authenticity and integrity. Both the Yiddishist and Zionist varieties provided a Jewish home for these lovers of Jewish identity. Out of their commitments came language, literature, music, art, dance, theater, and ethical idealism that were both Jewish and secular. Both the revival of Hebrew as a spoken popular language and the establishment of the State of Israel were their creations. In fact, the most successful Jewish movement of the 20th century was Zionism. The culture of that state became the staple of much of Jewish Diaspora education.

68. God How Does humanistic judaism Relate To God and Spirituality? How does HumanisticJudaism relate to these theologies? It is clearly incompatible with theism. http://www.bethami.com/god.htm

How Does Humanistic Judaism Relate To God and Spirituality? Theology provides five common beliefs with regard to God today: Theism : believing in a Supreme Being, a supernatural creator-God who responds to prayer and worship and intervenes actively in the lives of people. Deism : believing in a Supreme Being, a supernatural creator-God who cannot respond to prayer and worship and who does not intervene in the lives of people. Pantheism : believing that God and nature are one and the same, or that God and some part of nature, such as life, are one and the same. Agnosticism : not knowing whether or not a Supreme Being exists. Atheism : believing that a Supreme Being does not exist. How does Humanistic Judaism relate to these theologies? It is clearly incompatible with theism. But Humanistic Judaism can be compatible with deism if the believer finds no need to worship a creator-God and if the believer attributes no moral authority to that God. It is not compatible with pantheism. Calling nature "God" is verbal confusion. Why not just call it "nature?" Humanistic Judaism is very compatible with agnosticism. Many, if not most, Humanistic Jews would describe themselves as agnostics.

Beth Ami is misrepresented in the IJN Here is a controversial letter to the editor that appeared in the Inter­mountain Jewish News, along with responses: Editor: In the Intermountain Jewish News of Jan. 7, 2000, in an article written by Kathryn Bernheimer, "Boulder Movers Who Shake Things Up," there is mention of the group Beth Ami (humanistic Jews) which credits Hillel Segal as being one of the "movers." Judaism, to most people, has always consisted of religion and peoplehood. This group does not practice religion nor Jewish peoplehood. The messiah of their philosophy was Stalin, whom they follow with blind obedience. Their peoplehood is communism. I do not see how the author can include them as a positive force in the life of Boulder. Would she also include the "Jews for Jesus" as movers? Harold Goldfarb Editor: William Kroll, Laguna Woods, CA Editor: Humanistic Judaism is a philosophy affirming the power of individuals to achieve a meaningful and ethical life which lies within oneself and other people. Humanistic Jews believe that the message of Jewish history is self-reliance. Humanistic Judaism addresses the needs of cultural and nontheistic Jews worldwide who seek to identify with the Jewish people and Jewish heritage. H. Schwartz, Past President

Rabbi explains Humanistic Judaism By Courtney Crimmins Daily Staff Reporter "Add the name of Sherwin Wine to the list of great names for our decade," said Greg Epstein, co-leader of the University Humanistic Havurah, when he introduced Rabbi Wine at Hillel last night. Wine spoke to a group of about 100 students and community members on the formation of Humanistic Judaism. Humanistic Judaism involves the cultural and social history of the Jewish people without relying on many of the formal traditions of religious Judaism. "It is a philosophy of life with a strong Jewish base shared by millions of Jews all over the world. It is about what do you as an individual believe without settling for a formal answer," Wine said. Wine was raised as a conservative Jew but said he did not connect with all parts of his religion. "Once services started, I had trouble saying the words. They were Jewish words but they were not what I believed," he said. Wine pursued his interests in theology, graduating from the University with a masters in philosophy. After earning his degree Wine joined the Reformed Congregate and later left to form the first congregation of Humanistic Judaism in 1963. He began with a community of eight families and steadily grew from there.

WESTERN Atheism in Judaism Sherwin Wine: Humanistic Rabbi soc.culture.jewish FAQ: Who We Are (2/10) - 2.7. What about other movements? Humanistic Judaism Humanistic Judaism practices a non-theistic form of Judaism. For those involved in Humanistic Judaism, Judaism is the culture and the historical experience of the Jewish people. Jewish history has taught us to rely on human power to discover truth. It is a break from both Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism because it does not use theistic language in its liturgy. Additional information may be found in the Humanistic Reading List, available as: ftp://israel.nysernet.org/israel/lists/scj-faq/reading-lists/humanistic or ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/judaism/reading-lists/humanistic part of which includes: This message is intended to provide readers of soc.culture.jewish with a list of references to allow them to learn more about the current practices, past practices, beliefs, and history of the Humanistic Judaism Movement. 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.

Humanistic Judaism is compatible with contemporary Jewish life. Humanistic Judaism combines rational thinking with the celebration of Jewish culture, history and identity. We celebrate holidays with a "rational" perspective as to their historical meaning and contemporary value to us. We celebrate the value and richness of the human spirit. Humanistic Judaism was established in 1963 to provide a humanistic alternative in Jewish life. The Society for Humanistic Judaism (SHJ) was founded in 1969. Jewish communities throughout the United States and Canada are affiliated with the SHJ. The International Federation of Secular Humanistic Jews was established in 1986. In a little more than 30 years, Humanistic Judaism has spread to every continent. Read what our members say about what attracted them to Humanistic Judaism: ...people control and direct their lives without a supernatural being - a god; at the same time we liked the idea of the historical, cultural, and philosophical relationships to the Jewish people.
