The Firepit Minyan meets in South Austin backyards to experience Judaism. Though our beliefs range from agnostic to true believer, we embrace the Jewish spirit of humor, arguing with God and the pursuit of menschiness. To paraphrase Mordecai Kaplan: tradition has a vote here, but not a veto. You are invited to join our homey, messy, spiritual, funky, musical, exuberant, all-ages community.
