Not really, it's not at all unusual. My Nan was a gypsy. She was born in Ireland and my relatives through her all still live on a site there. She married My Grandpop who was a Jew. She insisted they still live in a Caravan even when she moved here to Cornwall. My mother in her early twenties joined a Christian cult, When i said I don't want to be part of it at 16 I was given 24hrs to find somewhere to live. She still refuses to speak to me. My Dad was a part of that cult for a short time but left and divorced my mother, he maintained contact with me and my siblings after returning to Judaism, and then married a Jewess with whom he had my half siblings. I don't go to Synagogue anymore and am not circumcised but i certainly would never want to pretend it is not part of who i am, anymore than I would pretend I was not English or was not for 16 years a very devout Christian. I was born here, as were both my parents and my mothers family who have been here for hundreds of years. It seems you are easily impressed.
Where does the German come in? Your father?

I mean to me that's a hodgepodge of different ethnicities, it's lovely quite honestly of course bar the whole you and your mom not speaking. I find that to be quite sad, and especially cruel on her part. Religion is up for interpretation (unless of course you're Catholic then it's pretty much "I'll have what the Pope is having"). There's people down my way who speak in tongues and dance with snakes....that's fine for them, but I don't partake in such things. I'm curious about the cult thing not due to you specifically being tormented by those folks, but just in general I'm curious about cults.

I thought Judaism was a maternal lineage? But then again, there's several things I don't know. I mean surely anyone can practice the religion obviously.


Thank you for sharing though.
