[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is Jewish, I am not.  To dumb down our decision, the main reason we are circumcised our son (hospital circumcision, not bris) is because his dad is circumcised.  So our son's penis will always look like his dad's.

Re: the "religious crap" part, we have found a very welcoming Reform temple that we attend from time to time.  I have not been made to feel anything other than welcome--there are many interfaith families there in addition to us.  Reform Judaism considers a child to be Jewish if either of their parents are Jewish AND they are raised Jewish.  Not just because their mom is Jewish.[/quote]

Thanks. Can you tell me how that's made a difference in your day-to-day experience, to have them look alike?  I can't really imagine all the scenarios, although I'm sure there are some.

As for Reform, I didn't know that. I would probably feel more comfortable in that context, given their views about gender. [b]However we never really explored it because in Israel, those who actually practice Judaism don't consider Reform to be Judaism and the seculars don't know what to do with it. It's very much an American thing. [/b][/quote]

Are you planning to continue to live in America, or move to Israel?[/quote]
