[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of incorrect information here. There are many nuances to these faiths and how you and your families deal with things. I personally believe a relationship can survive if the parties have different faiths or politics but not both. You definitely need to discuss everything. Including children, where you will worship, how you will include or not the others family.

On a personal note I will say that I converted to judaism and could not be happier. We are reform by the way which does not require the mother to be Jewish or the child to be Jewish.  You will find incredible similarities between the faiths which are both of the Abrahamric lineage as is Islam. The mikveh is just like a bris, the responsive prayers, the standing for certain parts of the service all feel very familiar to me and I am quite comfortable. I gave up Easter and Christmas completely. My family was fully accepting. We do the Jewish holidays with my husbands family and thanksgiving with my family. On Christmas we go out for Chinese and a movie with the rest of the Jews. I love not having to go consumer crazy at Christmas. We don't exchange Chanukah gifts so the Christmas shopping maddness doesn't plague us. Iam very content raising my children in one faith and disagree with the notion of educating them in both faiths to let them decide.

Good luck.[/quote]

Did you stop celebrating Christmas with your parents and siblings as well?  [/quote]
