The only Jews I have met who have had trouble accepting the idea that a half-Japanese person could be a Jew are the so-called secular “cultural Jews”, for whom being Jewish is a strictly racial or ethnic identity. My cousin, who married a Catholic and allowerd her to baptize his son, had the chutzpah to tell me that he believed he was more Jewish thtn any convert. This is racism, plain and simple. Jews like him we don’t need. But if you really want to be Jewish, we can use you.

Orthodox Jews believe in G-d and the Torah. So when they meet a convert who has been converted properly by rabbis they know are faithful to the Torah, no one questions it. If you want to explore Judaism further, please, please do not let unsubstantiated rumors of Orthodox bigotry or the fear that they will not accept you prevent you from looking into it.

God luck.

hold on a second why should the israeli government have any authority over who is and who isn’t jewish. sorry T M but you’ve got it backwards Jewdaism has existed for centuries and the Authority of conversion has always been rabinical

so who is the usurper here?

Anyone know of anything like this? I think it would add a lot to the conversation here.

So why the deletions? Don’t you want to encourage jews to date and hook up with other jews. Feel the love! Now I am going to find a nice quiet, private spot and think about LB. Yessss. LB. Yum.

I love all of God’s creatures, the men and the women, the Jew and the gentile. There are no qualifiers here. That’s my policy and you can quote me on that.

I have no idea what or who set Anne off but please people … show some love y’all!

I guess it’s not prostitution if Mardi Gras beads are not technically legal tender.

Um, unless I’m mistaken, you mentioned some Jewish girls who need to have some tattoos removed? Oh ck, we have a mission for Jewlicious. Finally!

And such contempt for goyim. I mean, hey, some of my best friends are shiksas. I swear, some of them have things on their mind other than getting in the pants of Jewish boys to wreak destruction upon the Jewish people. Some of them.

Seriously, though, I have never heard T_M express anything but ahavat neshei Yisrael. And on another note, as long as we’re talking about the thinning out of the Jewish people, why place blame squarely on the men who marry out? I go to a university (with a roughly 30% Jewish population) where if I had a nickel for every Jewish girl in a sorority, on cocaine, with a rich daddy, tattoo above her ass and different boy in her bed every night, I could probably turn the Negev green with Tu B’Shevat tree-planting donations to the JNF. Sure, their children will technically be Jewish, but only by default.

Obviously, there are gaping flaws in American Jewry, and there is no easy place to lay the blame or find an answer. Of course I want to marry a nice Jewish girl and have a million nice Jewish babies, none of whom will be self-loathing, inshaallah. And so do a lot of other nice Jewish boys I know. Don’t get mad at ck or T_M, who as far as I know are also firmly committed to the concept of Jewish girls and Jewish babies, and to being happy with said Jewish girls at the same time. Don’t fight the people who agree with you.

And T_M, please don’t stop making fun of non-Jewish trophy wives. For all our sakes.
