Is anyone else in this forum Jewish?  I'm a reform Jew, and anyone who's Jewish or is interested in Judaism, please feel free to drop by.  Smiley

I've got three EXTREMELY Jewish names. But my family isn't Jewish. Jaime is my first name, and my middle name is, get this, Israel [after my grandfather's middle name, and his parents weren't Jews either. My last name is a Sephardic Jewish name.

I'm non-religious, so I'm kind of Jewish in that sense.

Hahaha.. Jewish members.  Most american members are circumsized.

But seriously most people assume I and my family are Jewish, however we're merely half French.

Same. I've never encountered a non-Orthodox Jew who was remotely religious, and where I live the Jewish population is quite high.

I did, however, a know a Jewish girl who was blonde and had a German last name. Always wanted to ask, but thought it would be inappropriate.

(No, I'm not Jewish.)

I've met both kinds, and then a Jew by nationality - he was my Advanced computer teacher - we loved him.

Surprisingly, everything in that post holds true for me, right down to the blond girl with the German name.

My grandmother was a German-Jewess, but converted in 1944 to marry my grandfather.
