WELCOME!

 
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.
