[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very few Jews have verifiable proof of their background. That having been said, your husband’s background and his earnest desire to be part of the community are two different things.[b] If your husband wants to convert, your financial status should not be an obstacle.[/b] You two need to start going regularly to a Reform or Reconstructionist Congregation.

WHAT?

Of course it is! If he wants to use family funds for religious purposes it is definitely her business. And it could definitely be an obstacle. Many families do not have the time and money to devote a few thousand to a class. This is no different than one spouse they want to tithe or donate more money to charity than their spouse is comfortable with.

Also, it doesn’t sound like she is interested in converting. Why should she devote all her Saturday mornings and funds to something she’s not interested in. There is a limit to what you can ask of your spouse - this is a huge ask and she would be completely reasonable to say no.

Really? Within reason, if my spouse wanted to do something as fundamental as explore  a faith, I'd consider that a big family priority.  And I say that as a person who is adamantly anti-organized religion! [/quote]
