[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if I tell you I'm Jewish, it means nothing until we get into a huge debate about what kind of Jew I am, or am not.

Sounds ridiculous.

I am not Jewish, although the DNA does say I'm 4% . . .

I also have two good Jewish friends - one who's secular and "cultural" and the other who's fairly conservative.  My conservative pal will say that there are levels of acceptance among Jewish folks as to who's actually [i]really [/i]Jewish.

So yes, PP, you are being judged on level of religiosity.[/quote]

It’s not  levels of religiosity, it’s how Jewish you are. It isn’t everyone, but for some people if you’re not Ashkenazi or Sephardic by background (which represents about 90% of Jews) you’re not really Jewish. It isn’t fair but the perception is definitely prevalent. At my synagogue, if someone converts from Christianity, we accept them but think it’s a little weird. Again, not fair, but I’m just being honest here.[/quote]
How long is the conversion process?[/quote]
