On February 26, 2007, Rabbi Sherwin Wine, the deceased founder of Humanistic Judaism, made a special presentation to the Congregation. Using humor most effectively, Rabbi Wine explained in detail how Humanistic Judaism got its start in Birmingham, Michigan. He spoke with pride about seven rabbis recently ordained in the Humanistic Judasism movement on the "Humanistic mount" in Jerusalem. He praised Rabbi Dan Friedman's (our Rabbi Emeritus) early involvement in the Humanistic Judasim movement . For more on Rabbi Wine and the Humanistic Judaism movement, see Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
