I am VERY Jewish and frankly much of what your family practice puzzles me. We follow as many of the 613 commandments of the bible as is possible for us given the absence of the Holy Temple. Unlike Christians we hold that the Messiah has yet to come - that he has not yet come to this world. As far as the puzzling part - you adopt certain commandments such as circumcision, the separation of married couples for 14 days out of each cycle - you adopt certain things such as wearing the Star of David - clearly a symbol of being a Jew - Jerusalem is the City of David - a Hebrew King. Yet you choose not to observe the dietary laws, our Sabbath and its laws, practices of modesty, Women wearing women's clothing only, chastity until marriage, even not using birth control - where and how do you decide to pick and choose what you choose to follow and what you choose to ignore? I say this because for us it is written but for you well you seem to pick and choose what you follow.
