Beth Ami Havdalah honoring this year's Humanistic Jewish Role Model

Each 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.

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!
