Our Stories

Humanistic Judaism is a relatively new addition to the spectrum of Jewish denominations, having been founded by Rabbi Sherwin Wine in 1969. Thus, most members of the Triangle Congregation for Humanistic Judaism have made a journey during their lives to reach us.

We would like to share some stories of their journeys, which help picture the diversity of our backgrounds and beliefs.

• Cathy Lynn Moore was the first President of TCHJ, and is now an honorary member of our Board of Directors.
• Herbert Halbrecht is a co-founder of the Triangle Congregation for Humanistic Judaism.
• Marv Axelrod is a co-founder of the Triangle Congregation for Humanistic Judaism.
