If it was good enough for the sons of Abraham and Moses, it ought to be good enough for the Conservatives. Orthodox and Chassids don't consider the children of Abraham, Moshe, or anyone else outside their shuls to be Jewish. That was the boy’s conversion.

She's not claimng to be anymore than she is. I give her credit for trying. No one is in her head - no one knows what her motives are, nor is it anyones business. Would you all rather she had the child christened and completely shut the Jewish door? Boy, you guys are a tough crowd. She’s not claimng to be anymore than she is. I give her credit for trying.

I guess anyone can call themselves Jewish and emulate selective Jewish practices. It is still mostly a free world. I don't think she is a phony because she is not claiming to be Jewish. She is obviously just trying to have fun and get some free publicity. She is just treating it as a fad much like Madonna. Maybe she'll put a star of David atop her Christmas tree.
