Judaism creates Jewish identity. It means that each Jew has his/her people, has the Torah, has a 3,000-year heritage, outlook, beliefs etc.

How can an apostate Jew resume his Jewish identity?

According to Judaism, a Jew's nature as a Jew is part of his make-up and does not "wax and wane" with his belief. The nature of being part of the Jewish Nation - Jewish Identity, is not contingent on faith. (To a religious Jew, the question is as absurd as asking "How can an Italian who does not have faith in Catholicism resume his Italian-ness?") It is for this reason that Judaism does not recognize de-conversion or apostasy. If a Jewish person who has been atheist or the adherent of a different faith wishes to rediscover their Judaism, there are numerous organizations that can assist with that and are sponsored by the different Jewish movements.
