From Atheist to Seeker: A Path to Becoming a Skeptical Believer

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In this autobiographical essay, Elaine (Sneierson) Leeder traces her evolution from being an atheist, anarchist, lesbian feminist to becoming a spiritual seeker. Following her path from being raised an Orthodox Jew, Leeder discovers that her social activism and deep dedication to social justice have roots in Jewish values. This has led her to embrace her Judaism in newfound ways. By studying for her Bas Mitzvah, Leeder has learned about spirituality, the lessons of the Kabbalah and resolved deep fears of death and dying. Her piece is heartfelt and follows a path toward the unknown.
