What we’re about
The Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County, in Teaneck, NJ, was founded in 1953 as a progressive, ethics-centered community and is part of the Ethical Culture movement which was founded in New York City in 1873 by Felix Adler. Ethical Culture puts ethics, human flourishing, social justice and political action at the center of the search for a meaningful life.
Join this Meetup group and, better yet, come for a visit! All our Meetup group meetings are open to the public and include more than just Meetup members. Members participate in social justice and community building projects. There's also plenty of opportunities for fun and games through our community wide celebrations.

Sunday Gathering: Solstice Colloquy
Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County, 687 Larch Ave, Teaneck, NJ, USWe hope you were able to join us for WinterFest on the evening of Dec. 20. Each year, on the Sunday that follows, we gather for a time of quiet reflection.
Today may feel like any other day, yet because of the Earth’s 23.5-degree tilt, it is the shortest day of sunlight for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s a natural pause point, an invitation to reflect on the “milestones” of our own journey as we complete another orbit around the Sun.
What are your hopes for the coming year? Join us as we share, listen, and celebrate both the wonder of nature and our own unique place within it.
This Gathering is at the meetinghouse and on Zoom. To receive the Zoom link, please email admin@ethicalfocus.org by noon on Friday.4 attendees
