Rabbi Tamara Kolton of the Birmingham Temple,
a secular humanistic congregation
a secular humanistic congregation
No, I don't mind a female Rabbi. Not even a humanistic congregation. Not even Temple instead of synagogue. But "secular"?
Isn't "secular" the opposite of "religious"?
Oh, and Jeremy Ben-Ami of J Street is mentioned among others.
