You do have your fair share of nutters. If they don't do openly, they sure as hell do it in a hidden way. :p But that's only prevalent in Israel mostly.

Of course you can convert but you will never be accepted in a conservative synagogue or a conservative family.

Judaism is one of the only religions that does not actively go out and try to convert people. That is why Jews are so insistent on marriage within the blood faith.

A convert would never be allowed to be buried in a Jewish cemetary.

The moms I know look at your name and if it isnt Hebrew....go home.

I am not saying I agree It is the way it is.

So, what measures did he have undergo to finish the process?

He's was in the midst of converting, but never finished.

He reminds me of those people who witness crimes and when they go to identify the culprit, they identify the wrong person. That's him all summed up. He's forever accusing people of something that they didn't do because he doesn't read anything, and if he does, he's forever misinterpreting shit.

I have no idea. I never knew anyone who converted. You'd have to ask him.
 
I've never been to Israel, but that doesn't mean I don't know a thing or two about certain aspects of the country. Granted, it's really a secular country with a Jewish identity and the majority of inhabitants are generally secular Jews and there are a decent number of practicing conservative Jews as well.

Have you been to Israel BBW? It sounds as though you have by virtue of you commenting on things there?

This my understanding as well. That is what my Hasidic jew friend told me. In a sense you can say judism is more than a religion, it is almost like a race category.

LOL, the first time I recalled hearing that was from the Jewish woman on Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker - Patti Stanger

I guess this all means that a man can be Jewish, born to a Jewish mother, but if he doesn't marry a Jewish woman, his kids are not Jewish by extension, in the strictest sense.

On the other hand a woman can be Jewish, marry a gentile and since she is Jewish so are her kids, no matter what, since its all based on the lineage of the mother.

LOL, that is like a built in guarantee of a steady supply of Jewish kids, since all a woman has to do is be Jewish and give birth.

LOLOL at least I have a Gene Wilder story for you. Many years ago, when I lived in Los Angeles, I was working in Beverly Hills, and there was a crappy little lunch place around the corner. It was one of those restaurants that had a long bench along one wall, with little tables in front of it.

SO I'm in there, eating my lunch, sitting on the bench and reading. Because I didnt like being pestered, I had developed the habit of not looking up from my book. A man came and sat on the bench next to me. After a minute, he asked me to please pass him the salt. So without looking up, I did so. Then he asked for a napkin. Same deal. Finally he asked for the ketchup. I continued to eat and read. About 20 minutes later, he stood up, and tapped me on the shoulder. It was Gene Wilder. He said "I thought I should say goodbye since we had lunch together."

I was a little bit chagrined.
