FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1988

postulates that not all
humanists are Jews and that
not all Jews are humanists.
Humanistic Jews can
therefore travel comfortably
in non-Jewish humanistic
circles and their gentile
counterparts can enter a
Humanistic Jewish temple
with equal comfort. Indeed,
unlike the Lurias who say
they are strongly Jewish,
some Birmingham Temple
members seem to place more
importance on humanism
than on Judaism.
Jacqueline Zigman, a Birm-
ingham Temple member for
17 years, had an "old Reform
background. There is
something missing in Reform
today," .she says. "The Reform
movement was a humanistic
movement." But not any
more.
Zigman sees little dif-
ference between Reform
Judaism and Orthodoxy, with
its separate status for men
and women. "The Birm-
ingham Temple cares about
human beings, on the human
level, about dignity. This is
where Reform Judaism
should have gone."
Without the Birmingham
Temple, she says, "I was con-
sidering the Unitarian
Church."
"My husband and I wanted
to be married by a rabbi. It
was important for him to keep
his Jewish identity," explains
Suzanne Paul, a graduate of
the Humanist Institute and a
Birmingham Temple
member.
Paul, who is not a Jew, and
her husband, Charles, have a
bat mitzvah-age daughter
who has been brought up
neither Jewish nor Christian.
"Our daughter has a
pluralistic identity," a situa-
tion with which the Pauls are
comfortable. "When we don't
fit into neat pigeon holes, the
world gets uncomfortable,"
she observes.
Judaism and Christianity
are secondary to Paul. "I put

my humanism first. With a
40 percent intermarriage
rate, it's best for the Jews to
be inclusive."
But is there any benefit to
inclusiveness, when the
result is a next generation
which is not Jewish and, like
Suzanne Paul, "content to
stay within the world of
humanism"?

T

he Birmingham Temple,
like Sholem Aleichem
Institute in the past and
Workmen's Circle currently,
operates its own school. Some
160 students, from
kindergarden through 12th
grade, study Jewish history,
customs, holidays and ethics.
The secular Jewish
organization best known for
its school — but whose pro-
gram also includes adult
education and whose
philosophy involves family
participation in learning — is
the Jewish Parents Institute.
JPI was founded in 1947
"by first-generation
Americans just out of the
armed services," explains
Austin Hirschhorn, JPI's vice
chairman and a member for
15 years. "It was a generation
questioning Orthodox values.
They wanted something a lit-
tle bit different; a Jewish
identity without ritual and
mysticism."
Housed in the Jewish Com-
munity Center in West
Bloomfield, JPI boasts a
membership of 93 families,
plus associate members
whose children were
graduated from the JPI
school, and adult members
who join to participate in
adult activities.
Those social-cultural adult
events have included musical
evenings and discussions of
such issues as single paren-
ting and intermarriage.
But it's the kids and the
school that are JPI's main
focus. The classes, for nursery
age through ninth grade, are
known as "clubs" and were
