Father-Jews
The term father-Jew was used for the first time ten years ago by Andreas Burnier. She gave a positive meaning to it and tried to recognize father-Jews as Jews. People with a Jewish father and a non-Jewish mother sometimes feel hurt by the term father-Jew. In this discussion group we discuss what it means to be a father-Jew and the emotional side of it.

Jewish identity
To be a Jew can be complicated sometimes. For some Jews the religious aspect is the most important characteristic, for others being Jewish is linked to parents, the Second World War or Israel. Some issues can be sensitive, but there are positive sides to being Jewish as well. In this discussion group we discuss what it means to be a Jew for each of us personally.
