How far have you ever strayed from Judaism, and how did you make your way back?
Truthfully, I’ve never strayed, in the sense of becoming Christian or practicing something not Jewish. I have had periods of more practice vs. less practice, and more spirituality vs. less sprituality, but that’s part of the normal ebb and flow of Judaism.
For example, when I was Religious Practices Chair, I attended more holiday events. That didn’t make me more spiritual; the only time I’ve really had the spiritual connection is services up at camp, under the stars, out in nature. I find it hard to be in a spiritual synagogue that is the product of the hand of man; one can be spiritual in a syngogue that was constructed by God and cannot be duplicated by man.
Got a question for me? Any question you want to ask, you can ask here.
