Our Beliefs

Humanistic Philosophy

We believe that human beings have the intelligence and wisdom to determine the course of their lives, free from divine authority. Meaning and purpose are based on what we can know: this world, this life, and each other. Learn more about our Humanistic philosophy.

Cultural Judaism

Jewish holidays, life cycle events, and cultural expressions were created by the Jewish people. We study and celebrate both Jewish and universal human experiences, and our congregational life reflects both our Jewish heritage and our Humanistic values. Learn more about our cultural Judaism.

interfaith, Intercultural,

& LGBTQ+ Inclusive

We fully accept everyone’s identities, life choices, partners, and family heritages. Learn more about our interfaith, intercultural, and LGBTQ+ inclusive community.

Meaning over Money

Another example of how we live our values of equality and individualism is our innovative membership model, which eliminates financial barriers to membership and allows people to freely choose their annual financial commitment. Learn more about how we put meaning over money with membership.
