We're both Jewish

2. K & R

And for your friend, a thank you to Israel & Jewish law.

I wasn't raised anywhere near the Jewish faith & practices, though I have always held a particular respect & affinity for their unity.& bond within their faith.
Though I too am of Jewish blood, was never given the opportunity to participate in the faith & practices, simply by the path of my family.

I do also know the decision to leave one's faith they were raised with, however.
