A meaningful Humanistic Yom Kippur

Beth Ami and other Humanistic Jewish groups consider Yom Kippur the culmination of the self-analysis initiated on Rosh Hashanah. The holiday offers the opportunity to ask forgiveness from ourselves and those we have wronged, and to vow to be active, involved, caring people in the coming year. It is also a time for remembrance. We say a Humanistic Kaddish as a memorial and listen to the shofar one last time.

Some Humanistic Jews fast on Yom Kippur, some do not. For some, this connects them with the Jewish community. For others, it raises their consciousness about world hunger. Whatever you choose to do, we hope you come to our event to consider your humanness and all our human fallibility. Then finish feeling a sense of hope and commitment for the coming year.

Beth Ami, the only Humanistic Jewish congregation in Colorado, 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!
