On October 13, 2024, our Ethics for Children program and BSEC members, went to Randall’s Island to honor and support Indigenous people by joining the celebrations at the PowWow organized by the Redhawk Native American Council. It was a beautiful day of activists, performers, drummers, singers, dancers, poets, and artisans, and we were humbled to have been able to attended such a beautiful event.

On March 3, 2024, after a long hiatus, our “All Ages Game Day” returned to BSEC! About 40 people of all ages gathered at our new address at 269 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, for an afternoon of board and card games, lots of snacks, and a great time. Many friends came by, along with neighborhood families and some of our new neighbors. We aim to make this a monthly event again and hope you will join us next time!
Special thanks to all who helped make the day a success, especially Angel, Pat, and all the members and friends who helped set up, welcome people and clean up.

On January 27, 2024, we had our first art show at our new location at 269th 4th Avenue. Almost 2 dozen members brought their artwork, showing that we are surrounded by creativity and talent.
There was live music, refreshments, and a lot of laughter and joy. There was even a multigenerational dance train! Thank you to all who participated and helped make the art show a success, and a special thanks to Angel, who organized the event!
Below you will find some of the pictures of that night.
Pictures were taken by Taty Sena and Damon Worden.

The Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture (http://bsec.org), a Brooklyn humanist congregation since 1907, has moved to our newly renovated and accessible space at 269 4th Avenue, Park Slope. Our Ethical Education, Ethical Living, and Ethical Action programs will continue and grow in our new location.
Generations of members, friends, and community groups have fond memories of our years at 53 Prospect Park West. We are honored to have been a part of the rich history of this beautiful building since 1947.
We wish the students, teachers, and leadership of Poly Prep Country Day School, the new owners of 53 Prospect Park West, all the best in the years to come.
