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.

Beth Ami Readers Circle (the no pressure book group)
Arlene's House, Lookout Road and N 75th street, Boulder, CO, USJoin us for our always fascinating Readers Circle book discussion. Over these past few months, you probably have had time to read a few books! So why not share a book you have read with the Circle?
We like to discuss books with a Jewish and/or Humanistic theme. However, just about any book falls under one of these categories. If you don't want to share a book, come to hear about books others recommend. You never know how the conversation will flow, but it is bound to be interesting and educational.
Want to know what books people have presented before? Check out this list.

Good Movie Club/Humanistic Havdalah
·OnlineOnlineTwo for one! It's Havdalah and a movie discussion. Watch the movie on our own, then gather for a lively discussion about a fun film with a connection to Jewish and/or Humanistic values. What a concept! That's how we roll at the Beth Ami Good Movie Club.
This time we'll enjoy “Young Frankenstein.” Watch this classic “Jewish” horror film on your own, then we'll get together for a virtual Havdalah and fun discussion led by Rabbi Barry Fineman.
Join us for a good laugh even if you haven’t watched the movie – or maybe saw it ages ago! It's available on Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, and YouTube.
