[quote=Anonymous]OK.  SO now I have read all (well [i]most[/i] of the 28 pages.  I am the PP from above.

To the posters who are sympathetic to the MIL - she did this knowing this was not OK.  The MIL tried to baptize the kids in the past and a discussion was had AT THAT time about Religion.  The OP arranged for playdates/babysitters and even suggested various activities and offered to pay for them , so the excuse that the MIL was trying to find something to keep the kids busy was not exactly accurate.

For the posters that suggested that the OP married into this religion - BOTH her and her husband AGREED beforehand to raise the kids Jewish.  Whether or not you agree with that decision is not at the heart of the matter.  As a family, they DID agree before ever having children, and the IL's need to respect their MUTUAL decision.

OP, while I am not overly religious, I completely understand your frustration.  Your MIL overstepped and sprang it on you at the last minute, likely thinking you would go along with it because you were 'stuck'.  It was completely disrespectful.  I hope you come back and provide us with an update.  Please disregard the *few* posters who seem to be a little unhinged.  [/quote]
