[pancakeslovers]

for me as an israeli it is more important that my partner will be israeli and speak hebrew and live as a jew, even if he is not. but i would prefer a jewish man.

Not born a Jew but married a Jew and live a Jewish lifestyle I still keep a belief in 'Jesus' as the Jewish Messiah. I don't worship 'Jesus', I worship HaShem. Thought my son would be accepted as a Jew as he lives a very Jewish lifestyle but not so, he got kicked out of Hillel and Chabad when someone found out I was not jewish and he had similar beliefs as myself. Being Jewish should be a lifestyle.

Why do you say that there is something "wrong" with young liberal Jews? How does that make them know nothing about Judaism?

Just because they aren't traditional doesn't mean they are wrong!?

As a product of an intermarried couple I have to agree with what the young NY woman said. I think it has made me a more open person. For me being Jewish is something that I would want to share with my spouse (if he was open to it which would have to be a criteria). I am proud to be a Jew and sharing my faith with someone is something that I look forward to.
