I’m Jewish and I feel meh. There was always a lot of pressure to continue practicing Judaism throughout my life because our numbers are so small and we’re the butt end of conspiracy theories and discrimination from all walks of life and have been for thousands of years.
I’m not religious and don’t believe in any sort of god so I guess I’m responsible for killing my religion and culture I guess. I can relate to the sense of camaraderie in finding another person with the same shared lived experiences in the wild, but I don’t know how much I can relate to the tribes you mentioned.
I’m not concerned as much about my culture dying out because life and everything in it is ultimate meaningless :)
Do you feel a connection to secular Jewish culture? I feel like Jewish culture goes beyond Judaism as a religion.
There are lots of shared cultural experiences in Judaism (with the exception of ultra orthodox) so ya.
