My mother is Jewish, but I'm not. So I suppose I am, technically speaking, a Jew.

Hooahguy 01:19 10-30-2008

So you're not a Jew but Jewish?

Judaism is confusing that way. In one respect it's a religion, in another way it's an ethnicity. Both are valid, and they can be exclusive of each other. (In other words, you can be a convert to Judaism and not be an ethnic Jew, or you can be an ethnic Jew and not be "practicing.")

SwedishFish, I know you're kidding, but let's not go there, okay? Jews come in all shapes and sizes. It's a strange ethnicity that way.

I'm an apple and you're an orange. However, in the end, we're all fruit!

So that this thread doesn't die, I have to say the thing I admire most about the Jewish fatih is Shabbat. It has a great sense of community and friendship about it and is a great way to bring your family together.

Thermal 04:32 10-31-2008

no, but you might'nt not believe me for certain reasons

Even some Turks were Judaists.
