How do people who were raised Jewish but are no longer religious foster a sense of Jewish identity in their kids? Any good traditions or holiday celebration ideas? I was raised Jewish- Hebrew school, bat mitzvah, summer camp, the whole nine yards. But my parents are very secular and did almost nothing to celebrate Jewish holidays or Shabbat outside of lighting the menorah. Everything else we either went to temple, ignored, or (rarely) went to someone else's house. So I don't have any family traditions to continue.
My spouse is from a Catholic family and they're *really* into holidays, so I'd like to have some Jewish traditions to balance things out. I have a few ideas, but I'm interested in hearing what other people are doing for more inspiration.
