Shabbat/Good Movie Club - Humanistically
Details
Shabbat with a twist! It's Shabbat and a movie discussion - like a chocolate and vanilla soft serve cone. Watch the movie on our own, then gather for a lively discussion about a provocative 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.
After a brief ceremony with blessings over juice and challah, we’ll celebrate Harvey Milk, the culturally Jewish former Mayor of San Francisco, who was the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California. Watch the award-winning film starring Sean Penn on your own. Then join us for a discussion facilitated by Stu.
Watch the film, think about it, and join in our brief Shabbat service and movie discussion. Please note Harvey Milk was selected as the Humanistic Jewish Role Model of the Year (2022-2023).

Beth Ami is the only Humanistic Jewish congregation in Colorado and is a proud affiliate of the Society for Humanistic Judaism. We celebrate Jewish holidays, learning and life cycle events through the secular lens of history, culture, and reason. We believe in the human capacity to create a better world without supernatural intervention.
Beth Ami is a welcoming community where we connect to Jewish past, celebrate Jewish present and link to Jewish future through a humanistic philosophy. We encourage anyone interested in learning about Humanistic Judaism to attend this and all our events.
Let's do Jewish together - Humanistically!
