Celebration of Rabbi Sherwin T. Wine, Founder of Humanistic Judaism

Here is another activity in the Boston area which has an option for virtual attendance that will be of interest to many humanists!

“Sherwin Wine was a brilliant and innovative Jewish and Humanist thinker, a talented and sensitive congregational rabbi, an untiring organizer and activist, and a modern-day Renaissance man who read and learned as much as he could to teach and inspire as much as he could. (sherwinwine.com)

On the chai (18th) anniversary of Sherwin’s death, join us to celebrate his life. In this enriching program, you’ll learn about Sherwin as a founder, intellectual, speaker, rabbi, leader, organizer, and family member. The program will include select videos of Sherwin speaking, his bio (things you never knew!), photos, and remarks by people who were close to Sherwin, including Rabbi Adam Chalom, Dean for North America of the International Institute of Secular Humanistic Judaism; Greg Epstein, Humanist Chaplain at Harvard and MIT; and Elyse Pivnick, Sherwin’s niece. This program is unique and enlightening, providing a deeper understanding of the man who founded Humanistic Judaism."

In addition to the live ceremony at Fayerweather Street School, the
11 am program will be live streamed. Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83765096164
