Humanistic Judaism

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Humanistic Judaism (Hebrew: הומניסטי ביהדות ) (Yiddish: הומאַניסטיק יידישקייַט) is a movement in Judaism that offers a nontheistic alternative in contemporary Jewish life. It defines Judaism as the cultural and historical experience of the Jewish people and encourages humanistic and secular Jews to celebrate their Jewish identity by participating in Jewish holidays and life cycle events (such as weddings and bar and bat mitzvah) with inspirational ceremonies that draw upon but go beyond traditional literature.
