I am Jewish, I have always considered myself Jewish, I celebrate the holidays, I have fasted every Yom Kippur since my Barmitzvah. I am not a particularly religious person but I have developed a deep sense of faith in the past 10 years or so. It is Jewish yet it is not Jewish. I pray every day but my prayers are not Jewish prayers but prayers that I have fashioned for myself. I believe in God and I believe in my Jewishness which I feel is tribal as much as anything. The tragedy is that King David, as it was was in the 1960?s did little to reinforce that and in some senses caused me to turn away from it for too long.
