I wear my Star of David to remind me of my Busha escaping Russia after her Father was taken,never to be seen again.
They were Roma Jews, targeted for extermination.
She emigrated in 1914 and hid who she was until her death.She also spoke Yiddish with my Father and cooked Jewish food.
I refuse to hide who I am, Patrolineal Jew or not.
Three Synagogues never returned my inquiry about adult conversion classes.
My Jewish friends say I can be in the club. That's good enough for me.
