About us
How do you do Jewish? Are you a secular Jew who wants to share Jewish culture and identity with your family? Do you celebrate Jewish holidays and want to know more about how to celebrate them without the supernatural underpinnings?
Beth Ami provides a place where secular Jews can find a comfortable home. We appeal to those who respect and love our Jewish heritage and want to affiliate with others with similar viewpoints. We are Jews who want Jewish studies for our children and ourselves, who want to observe Jewish holidays, appreciate Jewish culture, and express a connection with the Jewish people and Israel in a non-theistic setting.
Beth Ami is a warm, welcoming community that gathers to deepen our connections to each other as well as embrace our shared Humanistic Jewish identity. We celebrate major holidays, Shabbat/Havdalah, and life cycle events, including baby namings, bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings and memorial services. For more information visit bethami.com.

Celebrate Sukkot - Humanistically
East Boulder Private Home, Arapahoe Ave and 55th St., Boulder, CO, USSukkot is the Jewish fall harvest festival where we decorate a sukkah and eat a bit under its roof open to the sky. Perhaps we will make and shake lulavs out of local Colorado flora, sing some songs, play some corn hole, and of course eat.
Please bring a harvest vegetable to add to our stone soup and come dressed for the Colorado weather. This is an all ages backyard event!
Also consider bringing a donation of non-perishable food which will be delivered to Community Food Share.
