Happy Hanukkah!

For all those celebrating Hanukkah, we hope your days and nights are filled with warmth, light, and time spent with friends and family.

The Society for Humanistic Judaism has information about Hanukkah and offers Humanistic Ideals for Hanukkah Candle Lighting and a contemporary reading of the symbolism behind each candle, The Eight Lights of Hanukkah.

Freethought Quotes

  • “Secularism teaches us to be good here and now. I know nothing better than goodness.
    Secularism teaches us to be just here and now. It is impossible to be juster than just...
    Secularism has no castles in Spain. It has no glorified fog. It depends on realities, upon demonstrations; and its end and aim is to make this world better every day - to do away with poverty and crime, and to cover the world with happy and contented homes.”
    by Robert Green Ingersoll
    Works, Volume 8
  • “Gods are fragile things, they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense. They thrive on servility and shrink before independence. They feed upon worship as kings do upon flattery. That is why the cry of gods at all times is “Worship us or we perish.” A dethroned monarch may retain some of his human dignity while driving a taxi for a living. But a god without his thunderbolt is a poor object.”
    by Chapman Cohen
  • “Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a better person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in.”
    by Martin Luther King, Jr.
    March for Integrated Schools, April 18, 1959
