[quote=Anonymous]To the OP: It sounds like your daughter is dating an Orthodox Jew, based on the facts that he covers his head, keeps kosher, and regularly attends synagogue. Those are all activities I associate with a stricter level of observance. I say this as a Jew associated with Conservative movement (which is "in-between" the Reform and Orthodox movements).

It is unusual for Orthodox Jews to date outside of their faith. If they are serious, I guess they are discussing conversion. Since he is Orthodox, he would require an Orthodox conversion (I guess) for your daughter. If I'm wrong, then disregard the below.

The conversion would be a multi year process with the goal of having her live as an orthodox Jew before they marry. This would require her to keep kosher, attend synagogue regularly, keep the Sabbath, and so on. Keeping kosher probably means no eating food you have cooked at your home. It would probably also mean no celebrating Christmas or Easter with you, although that depends on the rabbi overseeing the conversion.

I'm glad to hear that you are keeping an open mind and are focused on your daughters happiness. I have found that most Christians are not familiar with the level of commitment required by Orthodox Judaism and so wanted to share the above with you. I would encourage you to keep learning about this issue if your daughter pursues this path.[/quote]
