The
Sholem Community of Los Angeles is a secular Jewish
educational, cultural, and social institution. Our Sunday school
teaches Jewish history, culture, and ethics. Our progressive
community explores and perpetuates Jewish identity by understanding
our history and culture, celebrating our traditions, and
observing Jewish holidays. |
Secular Jewish... We, like the majority of American
Jews, consider ourselves cultural or secular Jews, that is,
Jewish but not religious. |
Welcoming...
Some of us are inter-cultural ("intermarried")
families attracted to Sholem because of its emphasis on
respect for the cultural heritage of all people. |
Progressive... Some of us grew up in secular Jewish
homes with Yiddish/labor traditions that we'd like to perpetuate.
Others have found a way to be Jewish
that harmonizes with progressive values of social
responsibility and justice. |
