Oraynu Congregation for Humanistic Judaism information
Canada's first Humanistic Jewish congregation
Oraynu Congregation for Humanistic Judaism, founded in 1969, is Canada's first Humanistic Jewish congregation.[1] It is based in Toronto, Ontario and is affiliated with the Society for Humanistic Judaism.
Oraynu Congregation is a Canadian voice of Jews who are secularists, humanists, agnostics or atheists, and who express their Jewish identity culturally rather than through prayer.[2] Recent surveys have shown that an increasing number of North American Jews live ever more secular lives and are less likely to believe that God exists.[3][4][5] Humanistic Judaism makes sense to thousands of Jews worldwide with organizations now in Israel, the United States, Mexico, Australia, South America, Europe, and in countries of the former Soviet Union.[6]
