Mike, your Jewish If your mother is Jewish, then your Jewish. Contact your local Orthodox Rabbi. Good Luck

Having been a guest at the Weisbergs' Friday night shabbat meals on various occasions, both before and after I converted to Judaism, they are truly wonderful occasions and I feel very blessed to have experienced the warmth of their Jewish home. My personal story is I am a descendant of Sephardic Jews who came to England, and my Jewish ancestor assimilated. Six generations later I came back and converted to Judaism, and I am now happily married to a Jewish rabbi in Jerusalem. Fortunately my English mother, a very active lady in her 70s, although she is a staunch Christian who would far rather I had stayed in that faith, has accepted the situation and she made a real hit at our wedding. We visited her in England a few months after we married and hope she will come and visit us this year after Pesach.

Josh, Jenny -- beautiful film, really.

There are mothers who freak out when their children want to live as observant Jews. Let them learn from your beautiful and selfless act of motherhood. This video should be required for all the parents who are uncomfortable with their children's choice to live as traditional Jews.

It shows what love can do and baniish away ignorance.

Thank you very much for sharing your heartwarming story with the world. You are beautiful. Your love for your family is precious and to be savored.

I am the offspring of a American born man of German heritage and an American born woman who is Jewish and the whole history of her family is. I never knew what to follow and often lean towards Judaism and this makes me even more so. I know first hand what good people my parents are and that nationality does not make someone good or evil but other factors. This is such a wonderful video and touching story.

Her friend asks what she can do about the evil that happened. I think the first thing is keeping your eyes and your mind open. Recognize evil when you see it and acknowledge it exists. Then, make a commitment in your own life to be on the side of good. If you do these things, then any other actions you can/need to do will become clear with the help of G-d.

What an articulate lady.

Thank you. How wonderful to be able to grow beyond what was to what is with a beautiful family. I am Jewish, grew up in a Bronx Jewish neighborhood, with the belief that there was no such thing as a good German. What an illumination to discover that is not necessarily so, that goodness and evil are NOT national traits, and that perhaps the day will come when we shall expunge evil entirely from human affairs.

Thank you for sharing this with us. It is beautiful! I love your videos Jenny, they always bring tears to my eyes. Yasher Koach!

This is such an inspiring story.i was so touched by this mother's love for her son.such a sweet understanding lady.and the son's love for his mother was equally the same.the whole family looked so happy!i love this .May the good God of heaven bless you all!

I found this story amazing. This woman must be commended for her open mind and heart. I admire her ability to have such a deep and close relationship to her son, daughter in law, and grand children. She has truly given back to the Jewish people.

BS"D Amazing and touching especially the last line about giving back some of the souls taken away. Thank you.

what a moving way to acceptance, I think if her son would have remained secular she would absolutely love him anyway, but in becoming an observant Jew now they both have a 'another' window of opportunity to grow even closer which they would not have had, my non-jewish stepmother spends every Shabbas with me, and if we get chatting she reminds me of 'dvar Torah' or 'parhsa' before she leaves! It does draw us closer in love, in other cases it tears us apart in fears as with others members of the family.

Thank you! This ia an awesome story of grace and love! Beautiful!

a lovely story, well told, simply and touching...and yes..where is the father in this story?

I am working on a project in connection with the holocaust right now and find this story very special

This is a beautiful story about a growing family and it's not just about religion but about spirituality and LOVE itself. Love is a flower, and when tended, it sprouts and grows very very tall.

how do you consistently come up with great content, week after week? may G-d bless you all !

I love it..... Wonderful video... When you will make a video about Anusims? Marranos? Please let me know I will happy to help you with that.. Shalom

Thank you for providing this work.

What a wonderful amazing story!

I love all of your movies and this one touched me a lot, seeing similarity in my situation. Keep up the great work!

It would be very interesting to hear the father's story. Would he be willing to be give an interview, too?
