Long Island Jewish Humanists Proud to be Jewish/part of a Jewish family — yet not comfortable with religion? Welcome to the majority! We celebrate human knowledge, power and responsibility.

We are a community of Jewish Humanists who welcome all who identify as Jewish, by birth or by choice. Cultural, or Humanistic, Judaism is a stream of Judaism that encourages individual thought and understanding in Judaism. Its relation to Judaism is through the history, culture, civilization, ethical values and shared experiences of the Jewish people. We read, say and sing what we truly believe - in both Hebrew texts and English translations, as well as Yiddish. We view the Torah and other founding Jewish narratives as powerful myths which are important for Jewish cultural literacy, but not as history or divine revelation.

We're humanists and we believe in evolution.

Watching the Israeli ambassador to the US on TV declaring there is no genocide and that the Mayor of NY is an antisemite who is making Jews in NY unsafe and who will impose Sharia law on us.

No, sir... THIS is making Jews unsafe - in NY and everywhere.

In addition to weakening the Palestinian Authority, reducing the feasibility of a two‑state solution, and heightening the risk of escalation, continued implementation of Israel’s latest West Bank decisions could undermine Saudi normalization and other major Trump administration goals for stabili...
