Humanism is a focus on action instead of wishful thinking and an occupation with the affairs and general welfare of
|
||||
humankind.
|
||||
|
||||
Our Humanism is based on promoting peace and harmony between peoples and nations. It is also service oriented where we
|
||||
seek to be of assistance to the Jewish communities of the MENA region.
|
||||
|
||||
We respect all recognized faiths and denominations and tolerate belief or lack thereof. We affirm and appreciate the
|
||||
diversity of humankind across many cultures and traditions as we stand firmly against ethnocentrism and all forms of
|
||||
discrimination.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, we value individual liberty including the freedoms of expression, belief, association, movement, trade, and
|
||||
choice along with other liberal values and human rights.
|
||||
|
||||
We believe in an inclusive Judaism which affirms humanitarian values and is at peace with the abrahamic/semitic
|
||||
religions and cultures.
|
||||
|
||||
Our focus in Judaism is primarily on secular worldly/humanistic matters namely the concept of Tikkun Olam (fixing the
|
||||
world) along with values such as equality and Social Justice.
|
||||
|
||||
Our humanism is apolitical and doesn’t discriminate based on belief, ethnicity, nationality, sex, orientation, race,
|
||||
etc. To us all humans are inherently equal.
|
||||
|
||||
We celebrate Judaism’s cultural diversity and acknowledge that Jews come from many cultures.
|
||||
|
||||
There is no way to look Jewish, rather Jews have a variety of customs and traditions from all over the world.
|
||||
|
||||
Our focus is on Kuwaiti Jews and their heritage namely in Kuwait and abroad and the Mizrahi culture in general.
|
||||
|
||||
We do not privilege one tradition over another rather we connect with the heritage of our lands and seek to accommodate
|
||||
a plurality of traditions in our members to connect with the wider Jewish world.
|
||||
|
||||
Kuwait has a special place in our hearts given that our initiative was based on it and on serving its Jewish community.
|
||||
|
||||
However as humanists our vision is worldwide and our concern reflects many cultures both Jewish and non-Jewish.
|
||||
|
||||
We seek to promote a safe space where differences are understood and respected. This is a community to celebrate
|
||||
humanity as a whole with a focus on Judaism and preserving Mizrahi culture.
