the “raised in a jewish family” collection (incomplete, because i would have been here all day)
thank you for collecting some of these. it seems that the only thing that scares gentiles more than gefilte fish and jews in hollywood and finance, is unambiguously stating that someone is jewish on wikipedia.
Do they think if they flat out state someone is Jewish 3 times a Jew will magically appear alah beetlejuice /sarcasm/
little do they know that the actual summoning technique is just a juicy debate
I don’t know…I suspect that if I ever got a Wikipedia page it would end up taking the ‘family/parent/grandparent was Jewish’ route purely because my mother’s father (but not her mother) was Jewish AND she went to a Jewish school and was I think more or less raised Jewish BUT some stuff happened and when I was born I was raised pretty firmly Christian for a while THEN some more stuff happened and my family isn’t religious anymore and I never really was I think BUT my mum sometimes still describes herself as Jewish BUT whilst I am super proud of the snippets of my Jewish ancestors’ history that I do know I’m not sure if I could ever describe myself as Jewish out of fear of appropriating an identity I’m not entitled to.
So I usually go with ‘my mum/mum’s side of the family is Jewish’.
