Is There a Secular Judaism? Yaakov Malkin

Yaakov Malkin, founder and academic director of Meitar, the College of Judaism as Culture in Jerusalem, and co-dean of the International Institute of Secular Humanistic Judaism, speaks about the status of secular Judaism. He argues that the phrase “Secular Judaism” has two primary purposes: first, to describe Jewish people who are unaffiliated with the Jewish religion and second, to describe all the cultural and non-religious developments of Judaism from the last 200 years. He also comments on the size and strength of Secular Judaism, reading the bible as literature, the significance of history, and the relationship between ethics and belief.
