I feel the same, I'm a NYC patrillinial jew my father and grandmother both spoke Yiddish to me but I'm a lone survivor in my family everyone is gone and I'm considering a reform conversion which is fraught with worse consequences but being alone i feel I need to consider my family and do what I need to do to at least represent them somehow. My mother's Father was a right wing Baptist and disowned her as well bit he is also gone. I think us as a people should be proud of our numbers since we are still and will be persecuted, strength in numbers no matter where you stand in politics. Thank you for finally bringing light to this.
