[quote=Anonymous]I do not know the position of even my own Consevative synaogue on sunday school for your kids - while we welcome intermarried couples, and would welcome your family, technically your kids are not Jewish since their mother is not (and presumably they have not had a conversion to Judaism) I guess we would admit them to religious school if you are members, but they could not become bar/bat mitzvah without converting.

I would suggest though that yuo raising them christian (did I misread that?) raises other issues.  jewish religious school is designed for families raising their kids as Jews, whether the parents are intermarried or not, and not to provide some exposure to Jewish heritage for christian children.  Even if they were accepted on that basis, it could raise all kinds of uncomfortable problems in the school itself.

But if you just want some exposure I guess you could attend a shul sometimes, or use tot shabbat.   I personally think you should think about exactly what you want and why though. [/quote]
