The many faces of Judaism today

[rhu]

From today's New York Times comes an article about a Chinese orphan who had been adopted by a lesbian couple (one Jewish partner and one Roman Catholic), raised in a Reform Jewish congregation, who recently became a bat mitzvah. At the party, held after Shabbat was over, the food was kosher. Absoutely wonderful.

The money quote, for me: Besides, she said with a shrug, “Most of my Chinese friends are Jewish.”

Have you read [i]Mona in the Promised Land[/i]? It's the much more enjoyable sequel to [i]Typical American[/i].

I have not, but I will add it to my library list. Thanks for the recommendation.
