Love your piece. That is the problem many people who are of mix race have, even when your mother is Jewish and your dad is of African decent people will say your not really Jewish because your not that active in the communtiy. Is being Jewish a religion or a race because I know many Jews who do not attend temple, can't speak or read any Hebrew or anything else considered Jewish but people say the are Jewish just because their mom is Jewish. So I should change my surname forget all the traditions and culture I have learned all my life just because my dad chose to marry outside the culture and my mom refuse to convert?
