Personal Introduction And you are ... ?

[Channalee]

I am not Jewish and to the best of my knowledge have no ancestry, according to the results of 23andMe. Through much time spent in study I am no longer of the Christian faith or belief which pretty much has left me an atheist. I love learning the Hebrew language, and years ago had purchased the Stone Edition Tanach from Artscroll including the Siddur.

I consider myself more in line as a conservative atheist, which has made any consideration towards conversion practically impossible.

I've accepted that and have moved on, yet remain here and continue learning from some favorite authors, posted here on occasion of Jewish ethics.

Dana, have you ever considered Humanistic Judaism? I admit that I don't know much about it, and I'm personally very happy with the congregation that I belong to. But Humanistic Judaism seems like an interesting alternative for someone who has been involved in a Jewish community (as you have been) yet identifies herself as an atheist.
