Westchester Community for Humanistic Judaism

The Westchester Community for Humanistic Judaism offers a non-theistic alternative in contemporary Jewish life. It is affiliated with the Society for Humanistic Judaism, which was established in 1963 and has grown into a worldwide movement. Humanistic Judaism embraces a human-centered philosophy that combines the celebration of Jewish culture and identity with an adherence to humanistic values and ideas. We value our Jewish identity and the aspects of Jewish culture that offer a genuine expression of their contemporary way of life. We celebrate Jewish holidays and life cycle events (such as weddings and bar and bat mitzvahs) with inspirational ceremonies that draw upon but go beyond traditional literature.
Our congregation welcomes people of all ages, experiences, and sexual orientations.
