SHJ posits it is the evolving culture and civilization of the Jewish people. Judaism is defined by us broadly As a world people and its civilization, rather than as a religion, nation or set of beliefs. Second, Tradition and Change. SHJ perceives Jewish culture and civilization as the creation of the Jewish people over many centuries. As such, each generation must add to and adapt Jewish tradition to meet its needs.
Creativity is highly encouraged, and tradition is viewed through the eyes of the Jewish present.
SHJ encourages adaptation and creation of new approaches. You can also send requests to the moderator for changes of address, removal from the list, and postponement.
