[quote=Anonymous]My husband grew up reform. His great great grandparents were observant and kept kosher (not just kosher for Passover) and so his great grandmother kept her home kosher so that her parents could eat in her home, but she didn’t keep kosher outside the home because it wasn’t important to her. His grandmother only kept kosher for Passover, and his mother did the same.

Husband always avoided foods that weren’t kosher for Passover during the holiday until his late 30s, but he didn’t do it for religious reasons. He attended Hebrew school and had a bar mitzvah, but he doesn’t like organized religion. He claimed he kept kosher for Passover and fasted for Yom Kippur as a way to challenge himself and see if he could follow the restrictions. As he approached 40, he just gave up on all of it. He happily attends family religious celebrations, but they’re only important to him because of the familial bonds. None of his siblings are particularly religious. This year everyone had spring break plans, so they’re not even having a Seder, much to MIL’s horror.

I’m Christian, but also not particularly religious, so our children have been raised celebrating Jewish and Christian holidays, but not attending church or synagogue. They’re teenagers and one is an atheist and the other is agnostic, but would embrace Judaism if she married someone Jewish because she finds Judaism more palatable than Christianity.[/quote]
