[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're not alone. I feel this way too. My husband feels it even stronger. Do you have kids? You may enjoy "how to raise a Jewish child," it helps you think through what Jewish identity means to you. Services are a teensy part.[/quote]

me again. Want to say that I went to a Jewish day school, I know Hebrew, I can follow services, and it still bores me, because I don't believe in God but because I know Hebrew I know exactly how much I don't believe what I am saying... [/quote]
15:35 here. One of the women who spoke at the secular humanist congregation I went to last week said exactly this same thing!! She felt like a complete hypocrite praying to a god she didn't believe in. She found a "home" with the secular humanists.

I'm just about there myself, but it's hard (for me) to let go of the Reform prayers etc I was brought up with. My DH is an atheist who supports Jewish culture (we call him Jew-"ish") and I know he'd like the secular community better. Sorry to hijack; it's something that's been heavy on my mind recently!![/quote]
