You've really pissed me off. Your brass knuckled ethnocentric bigotry is way out of line! Did you read the article? Did you get the bit where Cece is quoted as inferring that she is a stranger (after the Rabbi's similar remarks). She is a convert to Judaism, and therefore no stranger to Klal Yisrael. Her bat mitzvah should stress the opposite of her 'strangeness' to the community of Jews. Get it? She is a Jew, without proviso, and so are you, so knock off the look-at-me-in-the-mirror routine. If you like your 'other' culture, fine, no one has told you to abandon it. -Schvach
