One of the religions I'm seriously considering looking into is Reform Judaism. I was just wondering, for those of you who chose Judaism: What is it like to be a part of a religion so closely tied to culture? In the US of course, there is such a strong Ashkenazic (sp?) culture. Is it hard to participate in the religion when the culture is not what you were brought up with? What about Jewish holidays? Is it weird to celebrate them if your own heritage isn't Jewish?
(I've heard it said that the souls of future converts were present at certain events in Jewish history...fascinating!)
