My daughter converted when she married a Jewish man and everything seems fine? Am I missing something?

Have you ever heard of a Jewish missionary? Did Judaism spread throughout the world to convert people the way Islam did? They obviously don't want converts. They accepted your daughter's conversion because they want the kids to be raised Jewish and don't want to lose them. There's a lot of intermarriage and mainstream Jews accept that it's better to convert a spouse if it means retaining the kids. But they would prefer Jews marry other Jews and the state of Israel doesn't even recognize your daughter or her kids as Jewish. Believe me, your daughter won't ever be fully accepted as Jewish my many Jews.

So how is this not elitism?
No matter what you do or how much you love us, you are 2nd class

Do people really marry into stuff like that ?

The person you are responding to doesn’t know what they are talking about, and seems kinda anti-Semitic. I’d urge you not to listen to opinions about Jewish communities from someone bloviating about what “they” want or don’t want. Instead, ask us directly. As someone who converted more than 30 years ago (not to get married), I can tell you that converts are almost universally accepted, and, in fact, there are specific religious laws mandating acceptance of converts.

This is what all the actual converts on this post have been saying. Just listen to us.
