God is always there for you. Synagogue is your way of finding enough time for God. Commanded to just chill at home if you, 8 others, and a cantor can’t make it. Even if its been years, there’s no shortage of spare talit.

Or alcohol in the caterer’s room behind the rabbi’s office. Lol but in all seriousness, you may feel like you are an oddity or some walking dinosaur of a monotheist, you may identify with or revile your own stereotypes on a ethnic or cultural level, or you may just not take the scripture seriously. But God is still there for you as God was there for Issac to stop Abraham’s loyalty test short. The God who was there for Lot’s family despite their lack of devotion and even after allowing Abraham to argue on terms to spare Soddom and Gommorah down to 10 at least decent people. Lot’s family was less than 10 fyi, but were allowed to escape anyway.

IF you believe in God, the one described in our religion, even if the actual events flip around from hypothetical to figurative to ethnocentric myths to loosely historical, the whole Torah could be just be a tool teach one to know God and what kind of ‘person’/’free willed entity’/’discrete intelligence’ God is. Like an author writing a fictitious autobiography which describes the main character, themselves, as true-to-life as possible with allusions to reality in much the way Dante wrote about himself and Beatrice. That God, is still there, and there for you.

If you happen to have a Saturday morning free ever, return the favor.
