(or) What if my girlfriend / boyfriend / partner / wife / husband / child / Aunt Susie isn’t Jewish? Let’s not get hung up on who is Jewish or not. All that really matters here is who wants to do Jew-ish or not. Put it this way: You could be a direct descendant of Moses, but if you aren’t interested in trying anything Jewish, the ride is pretty much over. By the same token, you can be Santa Claus himself, and if you decide to jump on the Jewish train, and are open to seeing where it takes you, then the ride has just begun.

No. We don’t think the important question is, “Am I religious?" or "Do I believe in God?”— We think it’s more like, “Do I want to do Jewish stuff?” If the answer is yes, we’re in business.

Some people don’t like praying at all. If that’s you, that's okay. We have lots of non-prayer experiences you might enjoy. If you're just not sure about the whole prayer thing why not give it a try and keep this in mind: Remember that learning to pray will be like trying a new exercise: Not easy. Also like exercise, it takes a little while to see the benefits, but it’ll totally be worth it. We pray in Hebrew because we think the Hebrew leads us places English cannot. But we also want to help people who are new, so everything we say or sing in Hebrew is transliterated for you. Take heart: Lots of people who pray don’t only focus on the words but also the sounds of the words and tunes as a jumping off point to something holy. Finally, start with this: “A prayer is the articulation of something very particular at the core of one’s being, flung out into the universe. Perhaps it finds a mark, perhaps not. The essential thing is the articulation and the flinging.” –Merle Feld, A Spiritual Life
