What is the Philosophy of the Birmingham Temple?
Humanistic Jews are cultural Jews who find that Judaism is most meaningful in the context of modern thinking. As a Temple family we celebrate Jewish identity and blend tradition with contemporary thinking. We enrich our lives with the High Holidays, Shabbat services, by enjoying Jewish music, history, and by cultivating our ties to the Jewish community and the State of Israel. We instill in our children a love of Jewish culture and a pride in their Jewish heritage. As Jews and as human beings, we believe that we have the power and responsibility to direct the course of our lives.
