Congregation Beth Adam

Humanistic Judaism offers a nontheistic alternative in contemporary Jewish life. It was established by Rabbi Sherwin T. Wine in 1963 in Detroit, Michigan, and has grown into a worldwide movement.

Humanistic Jews value their Jewish identity and the aspects of Jewish culture that offer a genuine expression of their contemporary way of life. Humanistic Jewish communities celebrate 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.

Congregation Beth Adam is a gathering of dedicated people who find humanistic Judaism compatible with contemporary life. Our celebration of Judaism is secular in approach with the appreciation of Jewish culture, history and identity. We celebrate the value and richness of the human spirit. Everyone is welcome.
