In the hopes of meeting a nice Jewish man, I've posted my profile on JDate. 'I am a warm and generous single mom who is looking for a wholesome man, 'I begin. 'You are a responsible and genuine man who adores children.'
But to be honest, I feel a bit like a fraud.
That's because my mom was born Catholic, and my dad was born Jewish, so if you follow Jewish law, I'm not technically the real thing.
Ask just about anyone, 'Who's a Jew?' and you'll be told that a Jew is any person whose mother was a Jew, or any person who has gone through the formal process of conversion to Judaism.
Jdate is an online dating service aimed at Jewish singles. The service is one of a number of demographically focused online match-making websites operated by Spark Networks, Inc. Because of the focus on relationships between Jewish singles, Jdate is.
The Reform movement, however, considers a person to be Jewish if either of her parents was Jewish and the child was raised Jewish. And this is why, as a kid who was brought up at Lafayette's Reform Temple Isaiah, I never had any reason to believe that I wasn't authentic.
My dad was raised in his Orthodox grandparents' home in Boston. Although my mom was raised Catholic, she stopped going to church in her 20s and wholeheartedly supported raising her daughters Jewish. The hook up middletown ct. She was even considering converting to Judaism, but then my parents divorced. I was raised four days a week by my mom, and three days by my dad: Their influence and input — in addition to their genes — was basically equal.
I grew up in the East Bay, where I had my bat mitzvah and confirmation alongside my friends, so I never had a clue that I was any different. Sixty of my relatives never resurfaced after the Holocaust — this alone has always connected me deeply to Judaism. In high school, I became a docent, and went to history classes to share lessons about the Holocaust with my peers.
As a teenager, I saw myself marrying a rabbi when I grew up. (I admit it: I had a little crush on my own rabbi.) I dreamed about going to Israel one day, and the summer I turned 16, I did. It was in Israel where, for my first time, that I heard a Jewish scholar explaining who's a Jew and who's not a Jew.
What do you mean I'm not a Jew? I thought.
On a recent dinner date with a local Jewish man who observes Shabbat — we were set up by a friend — I tried to come clean by explaining my history to him. See, even though many Jews might not consider me Jewish, I do — I felt a little like I was defending myself in front of a jury. And he didn't seem to buy it. My mom is not a Jew, and that's that. 'Maybe you can convert,' he said.
Convert. My living room sofa converts into a bed. My hybrid car converts kinetic energy into electricity. I wanted to throw my fork down and say, 'No fair!' Instead, I took another bite of my salad.
To tell the truth, I agree with the Reform movement. The fact that my mom must be a Jew to make me a Jew is an archaic rule, I think.

This is what led me to pick up the phone and call Bryan Mark Rigg in Dallas, author of 'Hitler's Jewish Soldiers: The Untold Story of Nazi Racial Laws and Men of Jewish Descent in the German Military,' and 'Rescued from the Reich: How One of Hitler's Soldiers Saved the Lubavitcher Rebbe.'
'It's a nasty law!' Rigg, a history professor at American Military University, told me. He said this rule goes back to the Roman empire 2,000 years ago when the Romans said you were only a citizen if your mother as a citizen. 'Well, when in Rome, do like the Romans do!' Rigg said. 'But what arrogance! To base a law on a whole bunch of white guys who got together … it's very controlling, the way it creates an in group and an out group.' Rigg was very empathetic: 'I can just see you sitting down at a Shabbat table, and people asking you, ‘Where does your father come from? And your mother? Oh, you're one of those! You're not marriageable!''
At the end of my date, I try to make a joke about having a mikvah before our next rendezvous. But I'm not sure there will be a 'next.'
My hope is that if I do meet a Jewish man who might be my match, he'll accept me for who I am.
We 'matched' and met on the same night! We both had trips coming up-one was a 10 day trip to Greece and the other was a trip to Dallas. We realized we had to meet that night or forever leave things to happenstance in a crazy online dating world. We met in the middle at Supply House and had the best date we can't 100% remember. It included a drunk man falling on Melissa at the bar, a happy new year from the bartender who assumed we were Jewish (it was rosh hashana), and a great first kiss. It must've been great since we stayed in touch throughout our time away. After our second date for brunch and a crossword puzzle, we knew we had something special. Our love for each other kept growing even throughout challenges. After adjusting to living together and making each other laugh every day, we knew it was time to make this commitment. We are so excited for everyone to share our special day!

The one and only Meredith Shapiro, MOH Extraordinaire! The person I go to for anything and everything. My best friend who also happens to be my sister. Words cannot express how much you mean to me! I love you!
A true best friend! Lauren and I share everything in common and we have the best times. We always laugh and never run out of anything to talk about. She is one of the few people I speak with on a daily basis and I can't wait to live out our futures as neighbors!
I literally stalked this woman on Facebook because we had a great connection. This was the best thing that ever came from Facebook. Allison is simply the best and she is so loyal. I love our support for each other and how we can be completely ourselves without judgement. I know we'll be besties forever!

I don't even know where to start with this one! We've had the most hilarious experiences together and you've been there for me in the darkest of times. We had some great times in college and went out almost every night living it up in the big city after we graduated. I am so proud of all you have accomplished and I hope to be like you one day!
DJ Lokurns! You have so much video blackmail on me and there's no one I'd rather sit and watch terrible videos of myself with. You have the biggest heart and you've seen all parts of me. There are very few people that can make me laugh even when I'm extremely sad and upset. You have always been a light for me.
I can't believe how long we've known each other. I love that our friendship still reverts to being excited little 8 year olds when we are together. You are a special person and beautiful inside and out. I'm so happy we've remained best friends and you are the life of the party.

You are so kind and sweet in every way! I remember when I thought you hated me because you were being way too nice to me and I thought it was fake! But as we've grown super close, I realized that you really are actually that nice and good of a human. I love how close we continue to become and your family is the best!
So I think you owe me because I wasn't even invited to your wedding and you're a bridesmaid in mine hehe. It's hard to believe there was a time that we didn't know each other. I love how we don't even remember how or when we became super close. You are so great and funny and the best human mom and dog mom. I always have a blast with you and I wish we lived closer to each other!

My almost sister in law! I'm so honored to have you in my wedding party and I know you're like an actual sister to Adam. I've loved being welcomed into your family with open arms and I truly think you're superwoman. I love your girlies so much and I can't wait to see them grow up into beautiful women. I'd love to continue getting to know you and let's please find more time to see each other!
