Review for Judaism Your Way, Denver, CO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I come from a very strong conservative Jewish background, deeply steeped in ritual and celebration. I have had a very deep Jewish education and involvement with the Ramah summer camps for over 10 years. My experience was quite frankly, never involved with the more spiritual side of Judaism. It was quite dogmatic and at times, even harsh. Very little regard for questioning and discourse other then what we were studying at that moment. The result was that I felt ostracized and left alot behind. There was really no sense of community in my many years of Ramah summer camp and education well into the Prozdor program at the JTS in New York City. I find Judaism your way open and nurturing. It is in a true sense, very much community directed and I feel part of this.There is no judgement over belief or practice, or for that matter, non-belief or non practice. I find their work through community programs enlightening and exciting. it feels very nice to touch base with my Jewish roots in such a different way. I have met very interesting people on very different spiritual paths all with a sense of inquiry and thoughtfulness.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

excellent
