[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, if you think about it from your fiancé's point of view, his requirement doesn't make sense. According to Judaism, if you don't have a Jewish mother, you aren't Jewish, and therefore aren't expected to follow the traditions and responsibilities, unless you convert. So, why bother converting the kids? If he wants Jewish children, he should have them with a Jewish woman. Otherwise, why not adhere to the cultural aspects but not raise them religiously Jewish?

Honestly, it would make more sense for him to introduce the kids to the cultural aspects and let you handle their faith. If he is against Christian faith, maybe he has issues that need to be dealt with.

(I'm Jewish, my DH is an atheist, and we're not raising our kids in any religion, but technically they're Jewish. Your fiancé would not be able to say that. He knows that, and that's why he's demanding you raise the kids Jewish.) [/quote]

Presumably they would not join a synagogue that ascribed to what you write above [/quote]
