go to synagogue more often

It’s not quantifiable, but I just feel like I need to go to Temple. Somehow it seems like things would be better, almost as if I would be more fulfilled. I get nothing out of it to speak of, but occasionally going to services… I don’t know, there’s just something about it.

I don’t connect with Judaism anymore. I have my own beliefs about spirituality that wouldn’t fit into any religion, that one least of all. Despite efforts to modernize the religion, it just seems so 2,000 years ago for me. A bunch of stories that were invented to tell desert nomads how to live their lives doesn’t relate to my world.

However who wrote them had some serious chutzpah!

...as becoming part of a community. The problem is that my husband and I recently moved to Easton, PA, and the congregation we like the best is over a 1/2 hour drive away. We really like the rabbi, but she’s only part-time, which means they don’t have rabbi-led services that often. It somehow just doesn’t seem worth the drive to attend a lay-led service. I suppose my goal to start should be to go to every rabbi-led service. That should be manageable.
