The name Or Adam, Hebrew for “Light of Humanity,” reflects our love and respect for Jewish culture and tradition and emphasizes that our destiny is not guided by a supernatural force, but by the human power within ourselves.  

 

We follow the approach called Humanistic Judaism, which embraces a human-centered, not deity-centered philosophy: We believe in the human capacity and responsibility to create a better world.
