Judaism is the only tradition where leaving the religion does not straightforwardly mean leaving the identity. Whether you are going OTD from an Orthodox or Hasidic community, questioning Conservative or Reform practice, or simply trying to figure out what Jewish means to you without the observance structure -- this is a space that holds that complexity. You are allowed to be Jewish on your own terms, whatever that looks like.
