What we’re about
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.

•OnlineBeth Ami Havdalah honoring this year's Humanistic Jewish Role Model
OnlineEach Year the Society for Humanistic Judaism researches and chooses one person as the Humanistic Jewish Role Model of the Year.
This year they chose Norman Lear, a pioneering TV producer and writer who revolutionized 1970s television by using sitcoms to confront racism, prejudice, and social issues. A proud, culturally Jewish American whose hits included All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Good Times, Maude, and Sanford and Son, which addressed civil rights, feminism, and class struggles.
Join us online, Jan 10 at 6pm, for a brief Havdalah ceremony followed with a discussion led by Rabbi Barry Fineman to honor Norman Lear.
