[quote=Anonymous]I agree that race will not be an issue at Adas Israel. It's still a place that gives lip service to Halachah, when it suits their self-image to do so, though, and I notice OP uses "half and half"ish language and mentions engagement with other religious traditions. OP, if you are patrilineal and not interested in conversion I'm guessing you would want an entirely non-Halachic community? Because in the more traditional Jewish world, race is meaningless and is not supposed to be an obstacle. If you're legally Jewish you're 100% Jewish with full standing in the community. That doesn't mean there aren't jerks, but they have no legitimate basis for discrimination. But... you don't seem to discuss yourself as 100% Jewish. You mentioned a bunch of other religious entanglements and described yourself as Black/Ashkenazi rather than as Ashkenazi who happens to be Black. [/quote]
