I didn't go to a Jewish school per se but all the children in my school were Jewish. My earlier years were quite secular and although we were not the most observant of Jews, I have always felt my Judaism deep within my heart. It became even stronger once I adopted LO because now I could share my love of Judaism with my child. <br /><br />Now that we are "so Jewish" - it has been a challenge with my gentile family. But a few of them are gradually coming around and this year we even got a Chanukah card from one of them.orieyentahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08196912567675213457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29489292.post-73660081511326908542006-12-07T22:44:00.000-05:002006-12-07T22:44:00.000-05:00What a story!
