SECULAR SYNAGOGUE
Online.
On Purpose.
We believe that a rich, meaningful Jewish life should be accessible to those who are seeking it; no matter who or where you are.
Our Community
We are Jewish, Jew-ish, Intermarried, In-Married, Unmarried, Secular, Cultural, Atheist, Agnostic, Seeker, Spiritual, Intersectional, Intergenerational, and International.
We’re committed to meaningful inclusivity for Queer/Trans folks, BIPOC, and other racialized members, and anyone who has traditionally felt excluded in Jewish spaces.
Our Mission
Secular Synagogue aspires to create meaningful, valuable, beautiful Jewish learning, experiences, and community for secular / cultural Jews.
““It’s like a rush of Jewish endorphins in my day””

You asked for it, and here it is! Secular Synagogue Swag! 25% of proceeds will always go to a social justice cause benefiting BIPOC as part of our commitments for racial justice.
