We are an emergent intergenerational group of rad/left, anti-zionist, (mostly) queer, secular Jewish educators, activists, cultural workers, and artists, primarily based in North America, but also beyond. Some of us use “secular” and/ or “cultural” to define ourselves (while others do not), but all of us are interested in building Jewish community that de-centers rabbinic, priestly, and prayer-focused approaches to Jewishness.
Through this network, we plan to share resources, and co-create meaningful ways of being practicing secular Jews (including internal education around secular histories and futures, workshops with/for the broader Jewish left, shared rituals and art-making).
In the summer of 2022 we gathered online to connect through shared stories, ritual & art, learning about secular left Jewish lineages, the breadth of contemporary Jewish secular organizing and political work. Since then, among other things, we’ve been developing an Introduction to Secular Radical Jewishness workshop, to deepen our own – and other folks’ – understanding of our past, present, and future.
