Hitler would consider me a Jew, but not an Orthodox Rabbi in Israel.

My mother's father was Italian- American, her mother English (Catholic)- American. My father's family was Latvian Jewish- American. My mother converted, and I was raised a Conservative Jew until they separated. When they divorced, I became a Roman Catholic. I was baptized and confirmed, and never was bar- mitzvah. For a couple of years in college, I went back to synagogue, but my status was unclear. I dropped back into Catholicism for awhile, but have been unaffiliated most of my adult life. My wife is mostly English, Scottish, and German in descent, and my son does not think of himself as Jewish. Thus, my relationship to the Jewish community is somewhat tenuous.
