About Us

 

The Humanistic Jewish Congregation of San Diego is affiliated with both the national Society for Humanistic Judaism, a national association of more than 30 Humanistic Congregations around the country and around the world, and the International Federation of Secular Humanistic Judaism.  Humanistic Judaism is a fifth branch of the Jewish family tree.

The congregation began in 1985 in the living room of Alex and Shirley Levin.  We offer a variety of religious, social and educational programs.  Our purpose is to enable our membership to participate in an historical, cultural, educational, charitable and humanistic involvement in Jewish life.   Our members come from a variety of backgrounds.  Some were raised in traditional Jewish homes, some in secular homes and others will little knowledge of Judaism.  Yet we all come together because we desire to be connected with other like-minded Jews.  We welcome you to visit us and see what we are about.
