[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a lot of conditions.
1st no woman is good enough
Then she must convert

Then maybe mil will come around and accept it
Fil says as long as kids are raised Jewish

Being raised Jewish sounds like it is all dependent on the woman, is that not the dad's  duty too?

This makes me wonder how equal ia Dil is [b]in their community[/b][/quote]
Judaism is matrilineal, so in some people’s eyes (for every 10 Jews, there are 10 ways of following Judaism), the mother has to be Jewish for the children to be Jewish.

In general, someone who converts definitely “counts” as Jewish. This isn’t a “community” thing; it’s a “this mother-in-law” thing. [/quote]
This mother in law is quite vocal about it
From my experience with past friends who have dated Jews, there was a lot of pressure on the guy to not get serious
Perhaps the father was also against it but let the mother do the talking.
How is a Dil treated?[/quote]
8:55

I’m a Jewish woman married to a non-Jewish man. We’re raising our children Jewish. All sets of parents are harmonious and friendly.

My Jewish brother is dating a woman who was raised by a Jewish father and a Catholic mother. She identifies as Jewish. Her mother was welcomed with open arms by her father’s family. All sides of the family love each other and spend holidays together. If she marries my brother, she will also be welcomed by my family with open arms.

Again, it’s not how DILs are treated [i]in the Jewish community[/i]; it’s how they’re treated [i]by individual families[/i] whether they’re Jewish or not. [/quote]
