[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,  pls excuse typing. Before reading your latest post, i was going to suggest one issue could be your reform branch with them being conservative.  Now after reading your post, i think the issue is more your mother not being of jewish lineage.  I'm not jewish, but we have had this issue in my family and i have other familiarity with this.   Nothing you can do about it.  We can't choose our parents, heritage, or the religion / branch of religion our parents raise us in.

I still say there is a financial component to this, but not on BIL end.  I think BIL is looking out for DH finances by excluding you and DDs.

It would have been good experience for the cousins on many levels.

It will be alright.

That's just crazy. It is the very, very rare Conservative Jew who cares about that, and if they did care, it would have come through loud and clear before they got married.

We are Conservative Jews. My grandmother nearly disowned my uncle because he married a Catholic. My grandfather literally forced her into the car to attend their wedding. But this was 40 years ago -- times were different. My grandmother freely admits these days that she was wrong and stupid.

And if it's financial, it's not BIL's job to protect his brother. Issue the invitation and let DH decline if it's too expensive. [/quote]
