[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are completely missing the point. Catholics raising their kids catholic cannot really be compared to Judaism.
In [b] some sects of [/b]Judaism you cannot be jewish if you are not born jewish from a jewish mother. Gentile women marrying jews have a very hard time being accepted, some are not even accepted if they convert, and conversion to Judaism is not a simple matter.
For some strange reason jewish women marrying outside the religion is more accepted, most likely because the kids are still born jewish.
I would not get involved in organizing blind dates to anyone. A single jewish woman would most likely be interested in a single jewish man, but unless you know her well, I would keep out[/quote]
Fixed that for you. Not all sects of Judaism believe this. Reform Jews, for example, believe that if either of your parents is Jewish, you're Jewish. http://www.reformjudaism.org/practice/ask-rabbi/i-have-jewish-mother-and-christian-father-what-am-i[/quote]
Sorry but if you want to emigrate to Israel you have to show you were born of a jewish mother. If you were not you have to go through conversion before you can get an id card that identified you as jewish
Only jewish born and conversion through orthodoxy is recognized in Israel. The law of halacha[/quote]

For many years conversions done OUTSIDE Israel by non-O rabbis were accepted, and IIUC that is still a somewhat legally complex area. [/quote]
