Yidden, I've been slowly drifting away from religion. It's odd because I used to be so connected, and I still retain the same values! Technology, however, has made religious ritual feel so lifeless, and I can barely muster the energies to maintain even a bare Jewish lifestyle. I become so sad when I see my friends becoming more connected, while I find myself gradually falling away 😞... HELP!

I have been there and feel this is normal and maybe even difficult to avoid in a modern reform world - nothing wrong with it. Consider what brings you happiness. Thankfully ours is a religion of guilt, but not shame haha. May warmth and peace from the festival of lights find you no matter where you are on your spirituality path!
