I never heard of a "Humanistic" jew. Does it mean that I am not a human jew ? To say that pork and other such things that are specifically forbidden in the torah are permissable nowadays,thanks to the Food & Drug Administration's efforts, is going to far. If one can claim that because times are different he no longer must follow certain laws, what is to say that he should follow any of them at all. For all we know in our modern world we are not the "chosen people" any more too. I don't go for it! Yakov Gross
