Jewish secularism

Ahad Ha'am, one of the most prominent Jewish secularist ideologues

Jewish secularism (Hebrew: יהדות חילונית) refers to secularism in a Jewish context, denoting the definition of Jewish identity with little or no attention given to its religious aspects.[1][a] The concept of Jewish secularism first arose in the late 19th century, with its influence peaking during the interwar period.
