What is Secular Synagogue?

Digital Judaism, online community, engaged and meaningful learning and practice.

The goal of this community is two-directional: Explore how Judaism can be an enriching force in your life and, in turn, make you a more kind, just, and effective force for good in the world.

 

Who is Secular Synagogue for?

Jewish, Jew-ish, Intermarried, In-married, Unmarried, Secular, Cultural, Atheist, Agnostic, Seeker, Spiritual... YOU

If you are a cultural/secular Jew, someone who is becoming a Jew, partnered with a Jew, or otherwise Jewishly engaged, and want to connect to Jewish wisdom, ideas and community, this is the place for you! We are a proudly diverse community, celebratory for Gender and Sexual Minorities, Jews and those who are Jewishly-adjacent of any race, ethnicity, or ancestry, and other equity-deserving groups. We are intergenerational, intersectional, and international.
