Sunday, September 23, 2018 • 14 Tishrei 5779
3:00 PM - 4:30 PMPhinney Ridge Neighborhood - Exact Location with RSVPMost Jews define Judaism as more than just a religion, and therefore agree you can be both Jewish and atheist/agnostic. What does this mean in practice? Do Jewish rituals and organized community still matter? What accommodations are being made by the community for the majority – yes, majority – of American Jews who do not believe in God “with certainty”? Come hear Paul Golin, Executive Director of the Society for Humanistic Judaism address these issues and learn more about the future of Judaism.
PAUL GOLIN is a writer, speaker, advocate, and consultant on the most important issues facing the organized Jewish community in America today. Paul’s writing has appeared in the Forward, the New York Jewish Week, Tablet, the Huffington Post, and elsewhere. He co-authored the books: 20 Things for Grandparents of Interfaith Grandchildren To Do (And Not Do) To Nurture Jewish Identity In Their Grandchildren (2007) and How To Raise Jewish Children…Even When You’re Not Jewish Yourself (2010).
