Q. My wife is Jewish by heritage; by rabbinical law, the children we plan to have will be Jewish as well. I would like them to go to Hebrew school. they would study a language and learn about their heritage and the Old Testament. My wife disagrees, because we are evangelical Christians. She thinks it would contradict our faith.
A: I think all religions should be afforded respect, which includes not treating your town's Hebrew school like a Learning Annex course on the Talmud. It's almost literal bad faith. That said, I guess you could ask the school if they were O.K. with your kids just ...auditing Judaism for a while. Who knows? Maybe your kids will have their own conversion experience, as you once did, and be born again in non-Jesus. It's part of their family tradition, after all.
