Being a Jew isn't something you do for a reason, nor is it something that would make you seek out any sort of community, or something that should change the way you act. It's more like being black, or Chinese, or genetically female - a fact of life, not a decision to make. Deciding not to identify yourself as a Jew, on the other hand, is a decision, just as, for a Chinese female, it is a decision to openly claim that she is a non-Chinese male.
