Secular Humanistic Jews understand Judaism as the human-centered history, culture, civilization, ethical values and shared experiences of the Jewish people. It encompasses many languages, a vast body of literature, and a wide array of cultural expression, including art, dance and music. Secular Jews believe that Jewish history is a human saga - a testament to the significance of human responsibility, dignity and courage.

As Jewish communities in the Diaspora continue to evolve and assimilate, Secular Humanistic Judaism becomes an even more important alternative in Jewish life. With pluralism, tolerance, equality, Jewish cultural education and celebration, and secular conversion, Secular Humanistic Judaism offers a compelling option for modern Jewish identity.

The International Federation of Secular Humanistic Jews is the voice for Secular and Humanistic Jews throughout the world, linking national organizations in France, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, Israel, the United States, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, and the countries of the former Soviet Union. Together, we affirm our Judaism, celebrate our Jewish identity, and fully participate in Jewish life.
