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. |

Shabbat Dinner
Member's Home |
At the end of a busy
week of routines and demands, imagine the pleasure of relaxing
around the dinner table talking with friends. That’s the
experience you’ll have at the next Friday night Sabbath dinner,
starting at 6:30 p.m., at the home of Esthr Singer. A complete
Italian dinner with vegetarian options will be provided at a
cost of $15 per adult and $8 per child 10 and under. We’ll
celebrate the Sabbath with a little singing and ceremony before
dinner. For dessert, we'll taste selections from Jewish
literature in honor of the upcoming holiday of Shavuot. If you
have a favorite, bring it to share.
Please be sure to RSVP by Thurs., May 2 to Beverly Zarnow at

The Enlightenment
and the Jews
This is the
eighth class in the 10-part series: Reclaiming Jewish History.
This month we will feature a video talk by Lois Dubin, Associate
Professor of Religion and Biblical Literature at Smith College.
With an M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University, Dubin
specializes in post-Biblical Jewish history and thought. She
wrote the award-winning book The Port Jews of Habsburg Trieste:
Absolutist Politics and Enlightenment Culture. All the lectures
in the video series are part of the International Institute of
Secular Humanistic Judaism's Colloquium in 1997. Even if you
missed the first seven classes you can still attend this one.
Admission is free and no texts are required. Each session
consists of a video lecture by a prominent Judaic scholar
followed by a question-and-answer period. For more
information or directions contact: Gary Zarnow, 858-549-3088 or

The New Anti-Semitism
Jews living in
the Diaspora around the world today enjoy the benefits of being
integrated well into the countries in which they reside. Yet
living alongside an open-minded populace are groups organized to
bring Jews harm. At the May 18 Shabbat program, starting at
10:30 a.m., Kahal Am President Gary Zarnow will present
background on the roots and dangers these groups pose today.
Some of the groups he will explore are the Golden Dawn in Greece
to the National Front in England to The Order in the United
States. In addition, he will share who is fighting their hatred
through education and action.
Please remember
to bring non-perishable food items for the food bank of Jewish
Family Service to this and all Kahal Am programs. |
