Other Links SHABBAT CEREMONIES FOR HOME AND COMMUNITY The celebration of Shabbat is integral to Jewish tradition. At most such gatherings the evening begins with a Shabbat Welcome Ceremony. The CHJ Ritual and Education Committee has prepared a collection of tens Humanistic Shabbat Ceremonies from which the host family can choose. Each ceremony includes a candle-lighting, short readings and a few songs, and is conducted so that all present may participate. The service ends with an opportunity for everyone to share a life cycle event, such as a new grandchild, a wedding, a family illness. However busy the work-week, taking time to welcome Shabbat provides a sense of community with Congregation members, a link to Jewish tradition, and a measure of inner peace. The following c ollection of ceremonies for Shabbat has evolved in our Congregation over many years and many authors. The first ceremonies are, generally, shorter than the others and designed for families to use at home. The others are more appropriate for community gatherings. Some include readings for candle lighting, bread and wine; others for candle lighting only. All who read this are encouraged to use what they like and to contribute their ideas for change. As with much in our Congregational life, it is a work in progress.

Atheism Types of Atheism Printable version of this page Humanistic Judaism Humanistic Judaism doesn't proclaim that there is no God, but it does do without God. It sees no evidence for the existence of a supernatural being. Most Humanistic Jews regard the question of God's existence as either meaningless, or irrelevant. It finds no meaning in the worship of God, whether or not God exists. So Humanistic Jews do not pray or refer to God or the supernatural, or use worshipful or prayer-like language. It gives no moral authority to God. The symbol of Humanistic Judaism combines a human being with the ceremonial Jewish candlestand or menorah, to powerful symbolic effect. Basic Principles Humanistic Judaism is nontheistic and based on two principles: Judaism is more than a religion; it is the culture of the Jewish people. The source of power for solving human problems lies within human beings. So Humanistic Jews regard Judaism as an ethnic culture that was created by the Jewish people and shaped by Jewish experience.

Northern California Community for Humanistic Judaism What We Believe Humanistic Judaism offers secular Jews a non-theistic philosophy of life that integrates the value of Jewish identity with a belief in the importance of human reason and human responsibility. It declares that reason, rather than faith, is the source of truth, and that human intelligence and experience are capable of guiding our lives. And it offers an opportunity to practice Judaism in ways that are consistent with our humanistic outlook. Secular Humanistic Judaism is a nontheistic alternative in contemporary Jewish life. WE BELIEVE that human beings possess the power and responsibility to shape their own lives independent of supernatural authority. WE BELIEVE that Judaism is the historic culture of the Jewish people and is for every one who will live a Jewish life. WE BELIEVE that a Jew is a person, any person who identifies with the history, the culture, and the future of the Jewish people. WE BELIEVE Jewish history is a human saga, a testament to the significance of human power and responsibility. WE BELIEVE that Jewish identity is best preserved in a free, pluralistic environment.

Wikimedia needs your help in the final days of its fund drive. See our fundraising page Over US$225,000 has been donated so far! Other charities also need your help. Humanistic Judaism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Humanistic Judaism is a movement within Judaism that emphasizes Jewish culture and history, rather than belief in a supernatural god, as the sources of Jewish identity. Its philosophical outlook is derived from Humanism or Secular Humanism . Its beliefs may be summarized as follows: a Jew is someone who identifies with the history, culture and future of the Jewish people, Judaism is the historic culture of the Jewish people, people possess the power and responsibility to shape our own lives independent of supernatural authority, ethics and morality should serve human needs and our choices should be based upon consideration of the consequences of our actions rather than pre-ordained rules or commandments, Jewish history, like all history, is a purely human and natural phenomenon. Biblical and other traditional texts are the products of human activity and are best understood through archaeology and other scientific analysis. The most important unique characteristic of Humanistic Judaism is that its rituals and ceremonies do not include prayer or any invocation of a supernatural god.
