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.

Shabbat & Politics
Sheila's House, South Broadway and Table Mesa Drive, Boulder, CO, USKick off your weekend with a taste of Shabbat and a dash of global insight! We’re starting with a quick Humanistic Shabbat (complete with juice and challah!), followed by a thoughtful dive into the complexities of Middle East politics.
We are incredibly lucky to have Joel B. Smith leading the chat with representatives from SIPP (Sustainable Israeli Palestinian Projects). Joel isn’t just a local expert; he’s an environmental heavy-hitter who contributed to the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize-winning climate research! Come for the bagels, stay for the world-class brainpower.

Shabbat + Resilience
Boulder Public Library - Main Branch, 1001 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder, CO, USWhat actually keeps us going when life gets tough? Join us for a quick, secular Humanistic Shabbat followed by an exploration of the human side of resilience.
We’re skipping the divine intervention and talking about the real stuff:
- How does taking charge of our own lives build grit?
- Is a support system the ultimate safety net?
- Can adaptability and a well-timed joke help us bounce back?
After the talk, we’re walking over to Mustard’s Last Stand to keep the conversation going over lunch. All are welcome - regulars, first-timers, Jewish-curious!

Readers Circle (the no pressure book group)
Arlene's House, Lookout Road and N 75th street, Boulder, CO, USGot a must-read that's been living rent-free in your head? Now’s the time to spread the word! Join the Readers Circle for a laid-back afternoon of sharing our favorite finds. Don't have a book to share. That's OK. Come listen to what others have to say.
We usually look for stories with Jewish or Humanistic themes, but honestly, almost any great book fits the bill! Whether you’re ready to rave about your latest find or just want to listen in for some fresh recommendations, come hang out. The conversation is always a wild card, but it’s guaranteed to be a good time.
