Welcome to Or Emet

The Minnesota Congregation for Humanistic Judaism celebrates Jewish culture and provides community for secular Jews and others who love learning and creatively reimagining Jewish tradition. Based in the Twin Cities, we embrace humanism—emphasizing reason, science, and human agency over supernatural authority. Welcoming interfaith, multicultural, and LGBTQ+ families, we foster a meaningful, inclusive community.
