I didn't feel included in a congregation I used to belong to. I can relate.

It was very family oriented which is ok as an idea but if you are single you don't click plus it was not in my neighborhood. While my daughter still used to live at home it didn't bother me
because we were still a family and she did all kind of youth things there but as she moved away and joined different congregation I just never fell good belonging to my temple, I continued with it for religious purposes but never felt as a community and then our rabbi retired and new one just didn't feel right. I eventually quit and now can't find the right fit. Funny I didn't quit for a long time because I fell guilty quitting.

I don't need to hang out with friends at religious institution but I want to feel like a community.
