| My brother's 1st wife was and is Jewish. She wasn't very religious (going to temple & such) My 1st husband & I attended their wedding. I know they were married by a Rabbi (b/c I remember the yamaka) However, I think I was too buzzwd to remember if there was a priest there(sort of a joke!)
Anyway, they had 2 girls. Neither one seemed to be one way or the other. They had the Irish last name, had the benefits of the mother &mother's parents, but tended to have Christian friends.
The older girl became a born-again Christian @ about 16. The younger, is more like the mother in general, but does date Christian fellas. I know that b/c when we went up there for the #1 daughter's wedding, the younger daughter & her beau gave us a ride.
Oh, the 1st married a Greek fella, so go figure if it matters.
So I have to say that the children seem to choose the best of both worlds. B/c in this particular "case", my brother was a very strong influence. Not religiously, but personality & lifestyle. |
