[quote=Anonymous]I was adopted into a Jewish family, as an infant, and to this day, no one ever assumes I am Jewish. I am not Asian, but to most everyone, I really do not look the part. I did all the religious and cultural things that were required in my family. ..Hebrew School, holidays, Bat Mitzvah. Why wouldn't I? Would you have the same question if she were being confirmed in a Catholic Church or sealed in some LDS ceremony? This question seems racist....or kind of dumb. Now, quite apart from race, religion, etc., if you asked if a parent should force any of their kids to have a Bar mitzvah or confirmation, or even practice anything....you might get different answers. But being Asian or adopted has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. Judaism is not a race or even an ethnicity. It is a religion. You've decided she isn't the kind of race to have a Bat Mitzvah. She is. [/quote]
