I don't practice, but when you're Jewish, you're well, always Jewish. You can't really be a lapsed Jew, the way you can be a lapsed Catholic or Mormon or something. A Jew is a Jew is a Jew both to people who aren't okay with that and to history.

So this is interesting, and I would like to go sometime.

A friend of mine in college, a Dianic Wiccan, once remarked that Jews on pagan email lists would spend enormous amounts of time debating close textual analyses of pagan sacred texts--even though the texts under discussion were only about fifty years old.

(But of course. What else do you do with sacred texts? I still have trouble understanding why Protestants who consider the Christian scriptures "the literal word of God" aren't at least feeling guilty that they can't read those scriptures in the original Greek.)
