TESTIMONIALS
“After moving to a new country I was worried I wouldn’t have a Jewish community. SecularSynagogue.com has given me a community of positive energy and kindness. I love that we encourage each other to give back to our communities and educate ourselves on ways we can make a difference, even if it’s from the comfort of my own home”
“I can only speak for myself, but I know others feel near the same way I feel. I feel connected, heard, and a part of the Jewish culture that is stepping away from a geographical shul and building, as well as tradition Jewish services and rituals.”
“It’s so comforting having a rabbi who is only a click away!”

“The community here is one of acceptance, learning, friendship, and building a bigger tent for Jews of little to no faith. The leadership are wise in their resolutions of conflicts, and the members are kind, thoughtful, and open-minded. It was fundamental in my decision to go through with converting”

“Without this Jewish community online I wouldn’t have a Jewish community that fit my values at all.”

“As a trans and queer person with disabilities and a strong commitment to social justice, it's often hard for me to find Jewish community where I can relax enough to share about things that matter to me, and ask open vulnerable questions. Rabbi Denise Handlarski has done a great job preparing the ground for us to practice creating beloved community together. I'm really impressed that SecularSynagogue.com has been a space where I can bring the fullness of who I am without fear of rejection or judgment. I love that there are Jews from many different backgrounds who all have a shared commitment to being a positive presence in the world at large. It's a delight to get to learn with and from people with experiences different than my own.”
“Rabbi Denise applies her knowledge, skills, and abilities in an information age. A new culture of perpetual risk taking and improvement in new way of Jewing, is her driving force. She is passionate about what and how she offers this information age form of Judaism. I agree or I would not be a happy as a member there and I certainly am. I used to hate going the services because of the dogma. Still, I longed for a Jewish cultural connection. I found my needs met in what Rabbi Denise is offering through SecularSynagogue.com.”
