Cultural program:

Jews for a Secular Democracy

Many social justice issues that Humanistic Jews in America care deeply about are related to the separation of church and state. These include reproductive freedom; women’s and LGBTQ+ equality; and secular education for all students. Learn how Jews for a Secular Democracy brings a Jewish perspective to pushing back against Christian nationalism and religious fundamentalism that would see our country’s laws dominated by one religion’s approach over all others. Jews for a Secular Democracy is a pluralistic initiative of the Society for Humanistic Judaism, the umbrella organization of the movement with which The City Congregation is affiliated.

Sarah Levin serves as Program Coordinator of Jews for a Secular Democracy and is the founder of Secular Strategies, a consulting firm that is pioneering the mobilization of secular voters and leveraging interfaith coalitions to counter the religious right with a pluralist left. She previously worked for the Secular Coalition for America in various roles, including Director of Grassroots and Community Programs and Director of Governmental Affairs.

Paul Golin is Executive Director of the Society for Humanistic Judaism and serves as Lead Staff for Jews for a Secular Democracy. He is also a member of The City Congregation from Brooklyn, NY.
