About the I.F.S.H.J.

Secular Humanistic Jews understand Judaism as the human-centered history, culture, civilization, ethical values, and shared experience of the Jewish people. For us, the message of Jewish history is that we have the power and the responsibility to take control of our own lives.

Today, more than ever, secular Jews need a collective voice. This voice is expressed worldwide by The International Federation of Secular Humanistic Jews, which links national organizations in Israel, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Australia, Belgium, France, Italy, Sweden and the countries of the former Soviet Union.

The goals of the Federation and our constituent organizations are to reach out to secular Jews and offer communities where we can affirm our Judaism, celebrate our Jewish identity, educate our children about their rich and vibrant heritage, and fully participate in Jewish life.
