[quote=Anonymous]A Jew who joins the Catholic Church is still Jewish.  Edith Stein (St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross) was specifically killed by the Nazis because she was a Catholic Jew (Hebrew Catholic) as were many other Catholic Jews/Hebrew Catholics.  A Catholic Jew/Hebrew Catholic can still celebrate Sukkot (remembering the fleeting nature of this life and to honor G-d for taking ancestors out of the desert), Hanukkah (a holiday that is part of the Catholic Bible (1 and 2 Maccabees and John 10:22 (the Festival of Dedication)) and involves celebrating G-d's protecting the Jewish people), Tu B'Shvat (Earth Day), Purim (G-d's protecting the Jewish people), Passover (G-d's liberation of the Jewish people from slavery but with modifications to the seder), Shavuot (receiving the Ten Commandments), Rosh Hashanah (start of the Jewish calendar), and even Yom Kipppur (as a modified Day of Atonement perhaps with confession and a somber day of prayer).  Similarly, Shabbat - to honor G-d for creating the World.

To the extent the posters here are representative of the larger Jewish community, that the majority of traditionally observant Jews think it is weird or are uncomfortable with the idea of a Catholic Jew/Hebrew Catholic doesn't mean they are correct. 
What matters is whether it is okay in G-d's eyes.  What is wrong with any of the above?[/quote]
