Certified by the International Institute of Secular Humanistic Judaism

Or Adam offers a warm, humanistic, secular approach to Jewish identity and celebration.
We're an active, inclusive congregation with members of all ages and backgrounds,
ranging from pre-schoolers and seniors to singles and intermarried families.
We're also part of an international community of secular and Humanistic Jews
on five continents.

As humanists, we believe that people instead of a divine source are responsible for
human events. Our faith is in ourselves and in others.

	AYFO OREE? Ayfo oree? Oree bee. Ayfo tikvatee? Tikvatee bee. Ayo kokhee? Kokhee bee. Vgam bakh. Where is my light? My light is in me. Where is my hope? My hope is in me. Where is my strength? My strength is in me. And in you.	A Quick Definition of Humanism: In two words, it's "people power." It's a distinct philosophy affirming that humans (instead of a god) are responsible for human events.
- Rabbi Sherwin T. Wine, founder of Humanistic Judaism

As Jews, we combine our humanistic beliefs with the secular celebration of Jewish identity
and culture. We take pride in our identity as Jews and in the history and achievements
of the Jewish people.

We welcome member involvement in every aspect of our congregation from board meetings
to services. Together, we join to celebrate the light in each of us with meaningful connections
to the past and appreciation of our Jewish identity in the present.
