[quote=Anonymous]Looking for like minded people. I am Jewish. Raised somewhat reform. My husband and I belong to a synagogue - Conservative one because he was raised conservative. Not Bat Mitzvahed and for a time was the only Jewish girl in school. I embrace the community aspects of my religion. Volunteer, give $ to the community, help at the JCC and Hebrew Home and other non Jewish organizations. But, geez, I hate sitting in these long services for hours on end. I get nothing out of it. I don't enjoy trying to follow page after page of Hebrew that I do not understand and never have. I often feel that I am the only one standing there who does not know the order of the service or the prayers. Can't I just have my own brand of Judaism? A Judaism where I contribute to worthy causes, our community, and volunteer for the less fortunate. I am so over sitting in synagogue. Am I the only person who feels this way? :) Happy New Year![/quote]
