Humanistic Judaism offers contemporary Jews an alternative to theistic-based branches of Judaism. At the Congregation for Humanistic Judaism (CHJ), our services and programs embrace Jewish historical and cultural traditions and its ethical values as applicable to our secular humanistic worldview. In our services, and especially on the High Holidays, we celebrate our Jewish identity while examining who we are as Jews in the modern world. Every observance is marked by self-reflection and a positive commitment to the values derived from Judaism, Humanism, and the experiences of human life on earth. We also hold many joyous holiday and social celebrations. Everything we do is conducted in a warm family-centered environment, and we think of ourselves as an extended family.
