I appreciate hearing more of that context. Do you have any feminist/leftist critiques of her that you could share? (either in English or Spanish)

As to the religion/culture element - many Jews are agnostics and atheists. And some Jews enjoy celebrating cultural elements of other traditions (including in her case the mythical Virgin of Guadalupe). This particular critique is a non-issue for me as a proud humanistic Jew.

Sharing this video from Rabbi Miriam Jerris as a reflection for the #Elul season of contemplating on one's life.

Fascinating story about the only #Jewish person in #Greenland (not counting the military bases)

And... it looks like he is a #HumanisticJew according to the story!

Video: What is #HumanisticJudaism

#Mazeldon #Judaism

@usefulcharts Giving a little more context, I would say that your explanation of #HumanisticJudaism was maybe a little short and incomplete.

I have two things I would suggest adding (if you ever update these videos)...

1. Humanistic Judaism is not only for atheists. The movement also has many agnostics, but also pantheists, ignostics, etc. The unifying factor is not a belief in the non-existence of God, but rather the idea that humans are in charge and (continued...)

@usefulcharts I'm
very happy that #HumanisticJudaism was included in this video!

Also, FYI, this video is getting discussed a lot already on the Humanistic Judaism facebook discussion group.

Great new video from the Society for #HumanisticJudaism about what adoption (aka conversion) looks like in our movement.

I'm experimenting a little today with trying to reinterpret some traditional Jewish liturgy in a humanistic way.

I'm working with Model Ani, and here is what I've come up with so far...

Hebrew:

אני מודה על השמחה שבהתעוררות

Tranaliterated: Ani modeh/modah el hasimcha shivhatorerut - but not sure about this as google translate doesn't give vowel markers

English: I give thanks for the joy of waking up.

Join us for our #Shabbat service this Saturday at 12 pm EDT/1600 UTC.

To register: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYkdeChrTkoHte9KbMnWzJsQCAC-9z3CGVz

In this alternative #TishaBav service, we will questioning why are we still mourning the destruction of the Temple and its cult of animal sacrifice? In fact, as Humanistic Jews, shouldn't we be seeing Tisha B'av in a new way - as a day of celebrating the continuing reinvention of our tradition? We will be discussing this after a short D'var Torah talk.

Absolute madness and an obvious #FirstAmendment issue.

The #MilitaryReligiousFreedonFoundation is an important organization that should be respected and heard, not attacked by clueless lawmakers who don't respect the #EatablishmentClause.

Also --- let's be frank. I believe the attacks on #MRFF fueled by #AntiSemitism, based on past attacks made on the MRFF by those who offended by it's leader, Mikey Weinstein is #Jewish.

I hope he goes for it. I've been very impressed with Rep. Raskin for many reasons, but especially for his being public about being a #HumanisticJew.

About to start my first class (via zoom) in the IISHJ's training program for becoming a Jewish Lifecycle officiant.

After years of ministry experience in a Christian context (in my old religious life), I'm looking forward to plunging into the art of helping folks plan meaningful lifecycle events in a humanistic Jewish context.

New #Intro for coming back to this server

I'm going to be using this account to post about #Judaism & #HumanisticJudaism.

I'm a proud #Reform (member of Temple B'nai Israel in #OKC) and #Humanistic (@social.coop/@spinoza) Jew in #Oklahoma by way of #Conversion.

My views on #Israel and #Palestine do not fit well in Zionist or AntiZionist camps.
