EMBRACING MY JEWISH HERITAGE

It was only in the last two years that I discovered my grandfather who immigrated from Germany was actually Jewish.  Although he was not a practicing Jew and I have no intent to convert to the Jewish religion, I do identify with my Jewish ancestors.  I would be 1/4 Jewish, 1/4 native American, 1/4 Irish and 1/4 British.  From what I know about these four groups, I feel more drawn to my Jewish ancestry, even though I identify as Christian by faith.

With that in mind, I've decided to learn more about the history of the Jewish people and about their religion.  As I mentioned, it is not likely that I'll convert from Christianity, but I would like to know more about where I came from.  I've had opportunity to learn about Native Americans, Ireland and Britain and now I'd like to know more about the rest of my heritage.
