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? Oree bee.
Ayfo tikvatee? Tikvatee bee.
Ayo kokhee? Kokhee bee.

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.

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.

WE'RE LOCATED AT THE
BARNESS FAMILY EAST VALLEY JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER
IN CHANDLER
This is where our
Sunday School and Adult Education classes are held. Special occasions such as
Jewish New Year services will be at other locations. Shabbat dinners, havurot, some parties, and informal book and movie
discussions, are held at our homes.
