The Congregation for Humanistic
Judaism is a welcoming, supportive community, serving Fairfield County
since 1967, for secular Jews and their families to affirm, celebrate, and
enrich Jewish identity and values. CHJ believes in personal responsibility to fulfill the Jewish
ideals of loving-kindness, justice, and good deeds. Humanistic Judaism is one of the five branches of Judaism recognized by the United Jewish Communities of North America. We are affiliated with the Society for Humanistic Judaism and the International Federation of Secular Humanistic Jews, active worldwide. If you live in Bethel, Bridgeport, Brookfield, Danbury, Darien, Easton, Fairfield, Greenwich, Monroe, New Canaan, New Fairfield, Newtown, Norwalk, Redding, Ridgefield, Shelton, Sherman, Stamford, Stratford, Trumbull, Weston, Westport or Wilton (or Rockland or Dutchess Counties and don't mind traveling for your beliefs) and are seeking a congregation that allows you to be true to your humanistic values while celebrating your Jewish heritage, we may be the place! Our synagogue meets in members' homes and public schools. Please join us at an event and talk with our members. Your search may be over!
We encourage all members to bring non-perishable food to
all evening
events as well as to Adult Ed on Sunday so we can help replenish the
food banks. Hunger is a year-round problem, even in our area. Support Affordable Overseas Shipping for Books for Zim Please sign the petition to Restore Low Rate Shipping for Humanitarian Purposes: http://www.petitiononline.com/zikomo/petition.html Read more |

Your Child Can Be in This Picture
Send your children to a Jewish
Sunday School whose teachings reflect your own views on what it means to be
Jewish in America today. No doctrine, no dogma. A place where they can learn
about Jewish history, holidays, culture, literature, art, and music in a warm,
participatory environment. For children pre-school and up. Small class size
fosters involvement and learning. And, when it comes time for their Bar/Bat
Mitzvah, it will be a ceremony your whole family will be proud of.
Come see what
we've got to offer!
The
Congregation is run as a cooperative and offers full range of member-led
activities celebrating our Jewish heritage and values. Activities include adult
education, tzedakah/social action, book and film discussion groups, retreats,
and men's and women's groups. The Congregation values its sense of community.
Interfaith families are welcome.
We welcome visitors to our programs so they may determine if an affiliation with our Congregation is appropriate for them. To reserve your spot at an event, or to get three monthly newsletters mailed to your home, or to simply get more information, call 203-226-5451.
