[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are Jews offended by the children of interfaith couples (half Jewish) having a seder? My children have attended one all of their lives with the Jewish side of the family. They didn’t have bat mitzvahs, but this is an important holiday to them. Will it give offense to others is they host one as adults?[/quote] No, because they are Jews and not trying to infuse the seder with eau de Jesus. Pre-rabbinic Judaism used patrilineal descent as the determiner of Jewishness. Orthodox/Conservative Judaism still uses matrilineal descent as the marker. Other streams of Judaism use patrilineal descent. The state of Israel uses one Jewish grandparent of either gender. If your children identify as Jews, they are members of the tribe. [/quote]
