[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn't actually about hearing what you want to hear and affirming whatever makes you feel good, though.  There are plenty of Jewish people who do believe this kind of thing, but these are ideas that don't come from Jewish thought and in many cases run really contrary to it. [/quote]

Nobody made you the end authority on Jewish thought, you hateful poster. [/quote]

It is not hateful to push back against "anything goes" and "you do you". These ideas are actually anti Jewish. [/quote]

You know what else is anti-Jewish? The notion that there is only one way of doing things. That is almost never true in Judaism. [/quote]

It is also not true in Judaism that any old way of doing things is fine if it makes you feel good. [/quote]

I’m speaking about the notion that I am Jewish due to having a Jewish father and going through my Bat Mitzvah. How is that some radical notion?[/quote]

Halacha has different criteria and traditional communities need to be able to apply their internal definitions for who is a member. I don't want to bar you from any Jewish community and hope that future generations in your family can fully return, but you should know that you are part of a community that declared Jewish law doesn't matter when it doesn’t make us feel good. In order for future generations to make this return, someone down the line will need a Jewish mother or a halachic conversion. [/quote]
