Two things I find interesting in the article:
''I felt that I was putting out a tremendous amount toward that mission, that end, and not feeling return, not feeling connected, not feeling that inspired,'' she told her radio audience.
I see her use the word "feeling" over and over. Doesn't she chastise people on her radio show for saying "I feel like this or that"?
That aside when I read this, I can't help but think she's craving something more..a personal connection..she actually is more on her way to Christiandom than she is to athiesm after reading this quote. But starting as an athiest, then moving to Judaism, I can understand how difficult a realization that may be--Lord knows I've btdt in a different way--when you've been denying Him for so long and propping yourself up for so long as the final authority, it's hard to admit you need a savior and are aching for Him:
''I have envied all my Christian friends who really, universally, deeply, feel loved by God,'' she told her listeners last Tuesday. ''They use the name Jesus, in referring to God. My Christian friends generally talk about Jesus when referring to God. That was a mystery, feeling connected to God. To me that was a mystery, and I was very sad about that and very envious of my friends.''

Paul even mentioned in the New Testament that the Jews would be envious of the Christians and what Christ has done in their life.

Actually, I think that the problem she has experienced in the form of supportive responses from her Christian audience, versus cold and critical responses from her Jewish audience, might actually be due to her political shift rightward as the left has become more strident and unreasonable, and she has taken public notice of it.
Most Jews are hard-left socialists or worse, and I am certain that most of them resent her new political awareness. They probably cringe every time she mentions the harmful things they do to society.
