[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm Jewish and wouldn't allow that at all and would also be incredulous. I'd cancel the trip with DH or take the kids with us.

Obviously a week of bible camp won't make the kids stop being jewish but I don't want them being educated that to be born is a sin. I don't want them being taught they should pray to a dead jewish guy. [/quote]

Original sin is a bit deep for an 8 year old. But, even if it weren't, your kid at some point will be a member of the real world with differing views. And kids who will explain that people who don't pray to Jesus are going to hell (thanks to their parents & evangelical upbringing). Certainly my kids had heard this by the time they were 6-8.  Teach your kids your religious values and belief system. Help them understand that different people have different religious beliefs and that they can be respectful of others views, but not believe them to be true. (Something you seem to have a problem with, given your dismissive tone).

Or raise your kids as the Jewish version of the Duggars. [/quote]
