[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long game is he married a woman who outclasses him in every sense and turned her into an Orthodox Jew.[/quote]
Does an Orthodox Jew dress as she does?[/quote]

I'll bite. Certain orthodox women do, i'd say they're more commonly considered modern orthodox. Traditional orthodox women would cover their arms, etc. One thing I haven't thought to observe throughout this though is if there are images or video of Jared or Ivanka riding in a car, plane, etc. on a Saturday. If so, then they are most certainly not orthodox - modern or traditional. Orthodox Jews observe the sabbath. Not that any of this really matters anyway.[/quote]
Appreciate the response. Not many Jews in my area and I really don't understand all the different factions.[/quote]
Does just anyone determine for themselves what's actually "Jewish"?

Generally no. I don't think any synagogue - reform, conservative and certainly not orthodox - would consider someone Jewish unless they are by matrilineal descent, or they converted. That said, my guess is many reform and reconstructionist  synagogues would be welcoming to "non-Jews" who are interested in the religion, attending services, etc. But you can't simply declare yourself as Jewish - but the religion is generally very welcoming to people who are serious about converting.  Unfortunately it can get more complicated from there. Take a child of a woman converted by a reform rabbi - like me - who was raised in a very traditional conservative household, when to hebrew day school, has identified as Jewish their whole life. Since my mother was not converted by an orthodox rabbi, I am not considered Jewish in the eyes of the Orthodox synagogue. But because of the 1/4 rule in Israel, since I have 2 Jewish grandparents, I am automatically entitled to citizenship.[/quote]
