Dear Rabbi: Onramps to Judaism

Dear Rabbi: What advice do you have for someone who has lost connection with their Jewish faith but wishes to regain it?

Throughout life, spiritual yearning and religious curiosity ebb and flow. Philosopher Martin Buber teaches that divine revelation is not a fixed, dated point between the creation of the world and its future redemption. Instead, spirituality and religious understanding are possible at any time. Where and when that spark of illumination finds us and how we individually reconnect depends on our singular paths through life. Buber famously quips that “All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.” At Hillel, we’re here to help you uncover yours and find your on-ramp back into our tradition.
