Jewish Secular Community

Jewish Secular Community of Cleveland

Founded in 1967, the Jewish Secular Community of Cleveland provides an inclusive, non-theistic, and humanistic environment where individuals and families can celebrate Jewish culture, history, traditions, holidays, and life-cycle events. As part of the worldwide movement of Secular Humanistic Judaism, we create opportunities to learn, reflect, discuss issues of Jewish and universal importance, and build meaningful connections through shared heritage, values, and community.
