Our Principles
Progressive Humanism
“The humanist religion worships humanity, and expects humanity to play the part that God played in Christianity and Islam, and that the laws of nature played in Buddhism and Daoism.”— Yuval Noah Harari
Progressive Humanism is the belief that people can create lives of meaning and integrity without relying on divine authority. It emphasizes human dignity, reason, and empathy as guides for action. Rooted in curiosity and responsibility, it invites us to question freely and shape justice together.
Jewish Secularism
“No deity will save us; we must save ourselves.” — Sherwin Wine
Jewish Secularism is a way of being Jewish that celebrates culture, ethics, and history without requiring belief in God. It understands identity as rooted in human creativity and responsibility, not divine command. It offers memory and tradition as tools for meaning and connection in the here and now.
Genderful Feminism
“Solidarity is the political version of love.” — Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz
Genderful Feminism is the meeting place of queer and feminist visions, where gender is embraced as expansive and creative. It resists rigid hierarchies and imagines new possibilities for freedom and belonging. At its core, it is about care and the right to thrive as one’s self.
