Is there ever a case whereby one can be considered jewish other than strictly through the birth mother? Rochel
Posted by: rochel, swanzey, nh, united states
 

Hello Rochel,

If one goes through a proper conversion (commited to the 613 commandments) they are considered to be 100% jewish.

Happy Purim,

Rabbi Yehuda Spritzer

Daily Life
Being that I am married to a methodist woman and my children are not Jewish, is it appropriate for me to remind them of my jewish heritage as well as teach them about the upcoming high holy days? You know where I have been the last three years and the transition is quite difficult.
Thank you,
Edwin Diaz

Hello Edwin, It is nice to hear from you. The road of life is a windy one, one needs to maintain his balance through inner strength and faith to navigate it safely. In regards to your question about your kids, I feel it would be the right thing to tell them about your religion and explain to them the different aspects of our traditions and holidays. At the same time it is important to remind them that they are not Jewish, and that it is not incumbent upon them to convert to Judaism. Making them aware of your religion and beliefs is a good way for them to understand the various culture differences in the world thereby making them more inclined to be accepting of others around them. Good luck. Best wishes for a Happy and Sweet New Year. With kind regards, Rabbi Yehuda Spritzer
