Your approach is not very Jewish.  When people convert to Judaism, we make them walk the walk for a while and only do the conversion once they understand if our shoe fits.  How on earth are you going to decide if it is ok until you understand what it means?

Ask your boyfriend to take you to shul.  Not once, not twice, but as long as it takes to decide if this is something you can accept for your children.

Judaism isn't about a leap of faith. It is about walking the walk. You really ought to do some learning about this thing you might promise. So ask your boyfriend to help you see what being Jewish means. [/quote]

That is not an issue, I am not converting.  [/quote]

I get that, but how can you agree to something this important for your future  children if you don't understand what you are agreeing to?  Apparently you get something from prayer in the Christian style.You are willing to say "ok, my kids won't do that, even though this is a thing that helps me cope, and brings me joy and peace. I won't share this with them."?

It isn't just substituting Saturday for Sunday. Judaism is really different from Christianity.  Shouldn't you learn a bit what you are offering your kids in its place?

Maybe kids are still too hypothetical for you, but most of us want to give our children all the things that have brought meaning to our lives.  I can't even fathom how I would teach my kid to be moral without aJudaism.  I know people do because I have many nonJewish friends who are very moral. I just don't know how *I* could do it.
