[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does DH stand in this debate, OP?

Also, I get that Judiasm passes through the mother, but I'd be more sympathetic if you had titled your post OUR children and not MY children.  In a mixed religion family, it is fair for both spouses to want kids to understand something of their religious identity.  Even if they are being "raised" in one religion. [/quote]

This is such nonsense and so is the comment by the PP who said the children are half Christian. It's not a mixed religion family. The children are JEWISH. [/quote]

You mean according to the mother and her religion. Thats where it ends. Don't you see? It is not so black and white to others. Despite the mothers ideas and faith, the children's family is half Christian.

Which half is it, the top half or the bottom half? Or is it the left half or the right half? No, the children's family is Jewish. There is no gray area here.[/quote]

The father's half.

He is christian, and his parents (the grandparents), and all their siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, etc etc. [/quote]

The father has agreed to raise the children Jewish. The rest of the family does not get a say in this. Christianity is not an ethnicity, its a choice and he chose not to raise his children in it.

Similarly the rest of the family does not get a say in things such as education and other life choices. [/quote]
