Sometimes I feel like a spiritual hustler (and I don\\u2019t mean I daven quickly). I meet young people in bars and cafes and ask them questions about their Judaism. Questions like, \\u201cwhat do you love about being Jewish?\\u201d and \\u201cdo you feel it is important to live a Jewish life?\\u201d  But sometimes their answers catch me off-guard.  So many young adults are living Jewish lives for other people in other times. We are so committed to safeguarding what we received that we\\u2019ve forgotten why Judaism exists in the first place\\u2014as a way for us to connect with God, with ourselves, and with our larger Jewish community.
